Berry Heavy Winterberry Holly

Berry Heavy Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata 'Berry Heavy') is a stunning deciduous shrub celebrated for its abundance of vibrant berries and its ornamental appeal, particularly during the winter season. This cultivar is highly prized for its profusion of large, colorful berries that adorn the branches, ranging from bright red to deep red hues, creating a spectacular display. The berries provide a striking contrast against the toothed, dark green leaves. In late spring to early summer, inconspicuous white to pale pink flowers bloom, attracting pollinators. Berry Heavy Winterberry Holly is dioecious, requiring both male and female plants for the female specimens to produce the plentiful, eye-catching berries. It is a versatile shrub, well-suited for moist or wet locations, making it ideal for rain gardens and waterside plantings. The resilience, adaptability, and vibrant winter display make it a sought-after choice for adding vivid color and visual interest to the winter landscape.
