As a female selection of Ilex verticillata, it delivers reliable fruiting when a compatible male winterberry is planted nearby, and its manageable size suits borders, foundations, and mixed shrub beds.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the landscape it works well as a specimen, hedge component, or mass planting, and the berry-laden stems are a favorite for cut arrangements and winter containers. It prefers consistently moist, acidic soil and performs best in full sun to part shade. A male winterberry of compatible bloom time is required within about 50 feet for berry production. Prune in late winter or early spring if needed, and provide steady moisture, especially during establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Ilex verticillata\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Berry Poppins\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Compact, rounded\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, acidic, well-drained\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 3-4 feet\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Female selection; requires a compatible male winterberry nearby for fruit set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663446999176,"sku":"MOT-135","price":232.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_2d13a1e6-c715-4f0c-95a0-8b223b8cb682.png?v=1791897225","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-live-plant-berry-poppins-winterberry-female-ilex-verticillata-in-4-inch-pot","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
