Description
Wildfire™ Winterberry also known as Ilex Verticillata Wildfire is a captivating fall shrub that showcases brilliant red berries from mid-fall to late winter, creating a stunning display as its leaves shed to reveal the vibrant fruit. The forest green foliage turns a beautiful gold in the fall, adding seasonal interest before the berries take center stage. Its multi-stemmed, rounded form makes it a versatile choice for landscape compositions, particularly when planted in masses or alongside contrasting trees and shrubs. Ideal for wet sites, this winterberry thrives in acidic soil, and 'Southern Gentleman' is recommended as a pollinator to maximize berry production.
Requiring only occasional maintenance, Wildfire™ Winterberry benefits from pruning in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. This shrub is not only a visual delight but also a great way to attract birds to your garden, providing a natural food source and adding life to your landscape. Its ability to spread and form colonies further enhances its appeal, offering a lush, dynamic element to any garden space.
