Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a native deciduous holly grown for its brilliant red berries, which persist on bare branches long after the leaves drop, providing striking winter color and a valuable late-season food source for birds. A female pollinator is needed nearby to produce berries. It blooms in late spring to early summer and grows best in full sun to part shade with moist to wet soil.
