Red Sprite Winterberry Holly
Red Sprite Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata 'Red Sprite') is a striking deciduous shrub celebrated for its compact size and the abundance of vibrant red berries it bears, particularly during the winter season. This cultivar is highly esteemed for its profusion of small, round, bright red berries that cover the branches, creating a captivating display against the backdrop of toothed, dark green leaves. In late spring to early summer, inconspicuous white to pale pink flowers bloom, attracting pollinators. Red Sprite Winterberry Holly is dioecious, necessitating both male and female plants for the female specimens to produce the plentiful, eye-catching berries. It is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, borders, or containers due to its more petite growth habit. The resilience, adaptability, and abundant winter berries make it a popular shrub, enhancing the beauty of the winter landscape.
