Red Sprite Winterberry
Red Sprite Winterberry is a compact, deciduous holly shrub known for its striking clusters of bright red berries that last well into winter. This female variety is perfect for adding winter color and attracting birds to smaller landscapes.
It thrives in moist, acidic soils and works well in rain gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. For berry production, plant with a compatible male pollinator like Mr. Poppins nearby.
