Winter Red Winterberry

Winter Red Winterberry is a standout deciduous holly prized for its spectacular display of bright red berries that persist well into winter. After the glossy green leaves drop in fall, the branches become densely studded with vibrant fruit, creating a striking contrast against snow and bare landscapes. This hardy shrub typically grows 6 to 9 feet tall and wide, forming an upright, rounded shape ideal for borders, foundation plantings, and naturalized areas. Winter Red thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, acidic soil, even tolerating wet sites where many shrubs struggle. To produce berries, it requires a male pollinator.
