WINTER RED FEMALE WINTERBERRY HOLLY

Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red' is commonly referred to as Winter Red Winterberry or Swamp Winterberry 'Winter Red'. It features heavy fruit set and persistence and is notes for being one of the very best winterberries. This slow grower has a oval form with greenish-white flowers in late spring that are followed by cherry red berries from fall through winter which brighten winter's mood. Dark green, leathery leaves hold until fall when the real berry show takes over.

Winter Red Winterberry is a female plant that needs a male pollinator within range. Apollo or Southern Gentlemen Winterberry Hollies will do the trick as they are late male varieties. It thrives in full to part sun in rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate poorly drained soils. It is ideal for foundation plantings or along streams or ponds.

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.
