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.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote new growth.
