Ilex verticillata 'Wildfire' (Winterberry Holly)

Ilex verticillata ‘Wildfire’ – Winterberry

Add bold fall and winter color to the landscape with ‘Wildfire’ Winterberry. This deciduous holly has glossy dark green foliage through the growing season, followed by a heavy display of bright red berries that remain into early winter. Ilex verticillata are native to Maine.

Its rounded habit works well in foundation plantings, hedges, mixed borders, and rain gardens. The berry-covered stems are also excellent for seasonal arrangements and floral displays. A compatible male pollinator, such as ‘Jim Dandy’, is required nearby for berry production.
