1 Live Plant American Winterberry Ilex verticillata Coralberry 2 Year Old Shrub 12 Inch Tall

American Winterberry is a deciduous shrub grown for its bright red berries that persist into winter, adding striking color to the cold-season landscape after the leaves drop. A two year old plant roughly 12 inches tall, it makes an appealing choice for borders, hedges, and native plantings. This species is prized for its dependable fruit display and for providing winter interest when little else is in bloom or leaf.
American Winterberry suits wildlife gardens, naturalized areas, and mixed shrub borders. It is a deciduous holly type that drops its foliage in autumn, which reveals clusters of vivid red berries along the stems. These shrubs generally perform best in consistently moist, acidic soils and full sun to partial shade. Berries typically develop when both male and female plants are present nearby for pollination.
