BERRY HEAVY® FEMALE WINTERBERRY HOLLY

Ilex verticillata 'Spravy' is commonly referred to as Berry Heavy® Winterberry Holly. This Proven Winners® Color Choice® selection produces copious amounts of bright red berries that really shine in the fall and winter landscape. To produce berries, a male and female plant are both required - use an early male such as Jim Dandy Winterberry as the pollinator. This wildlife attractant - birds love the berries - is native to North America.

Berry Heavy® Winterberry Holly is deciduous so it will drop its leaves when the berries appear. It thrives in full or filtered sun in rich, organic, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It provides great winter interest and is perfect as a foundation plant, screening, or in mass plantings.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, acidic, and well-draining soil, selecting a location that ranges from full sun to partial shade depending on the specific cultivar. These versatile shrubs generally prefer consistent moisture, especially during the first growing season to establish strong root systems, and they benefit from protection against harsh, drying winds. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to shape the plant, which encourages dense, healthy foliage and helps maintain a manageable size. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and maintain soil acidity, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
