Winterberry BERRY NICE® Holly
Product Description
BERRY NICE® Winterberry Holly
The dark red berry display is so vivid, the original plant was selected by sight at a distance of 1/4 mile. It'll make you stop and take notice. Good clean foliage drops early in the fall so you can enjoy its spectacular show.
This lovely native is well adapted to wet soils, so it's a perfect choice for near a pond or stream. The fruit appears in autumn and remains until early spring when the returning birds feast on the showy fruit. Berry Nice® winterberry makes a great plant for cut arrangements in the autumn when the colorful berries are present. The fruit will dry but remains very attractive. Planting a male selection in near proximity greatly improves the fruiting of Winterberry.
