Winterberry, Female

Winterberry Female is the essential native companion plant for producing the spectacular red berry displays that make winterberry one of the most beloved plants for cold-season gardens. This female selection grows 5–9 feet tall with a graceful mounding habit and, when paired with a compatible male pollinator nearby, delivers an abundance of vivid red berries from fall through winter that birds adore and that make stunning natural holiday arrangements. Inconspicuous white spring flowers give way to this extraordinary fruit display that glows brightest after the leaves drop in fall. Resistant to deer, rabbits, and disease, native to the Great Lakes region, and tolerant of Black Walnut, it thrives in both moist and average garden conditions. Plant several together for the most dramatic effect. A must-have native shrub for four-season interest and winter wildlife.
