Ilex verticillata
Common winterberry is a deciduous holly native of Eastern North America. Inconspicuous
flowers are followed by dense clusters of bright red berries that persist on branches
throughout winter providing a spectacular winter display. The species is a globular,
upright, medium-sized shrub, typically 6-10 ft. tall, but dwarf cultivars have been
developed which are perfect for small spaces and containers.
