Winterberry Berry Poppins®, Black Alder Berry Poppins®, Feverbark Berry Poppins®, Swamp Winterberry Berry Poppins®, Ilex verticillata 'FarrowBPop' PP25835
Perfect for small spaces, Ilex verticillata Berry Poppins® (Winterberry) is a dwarf shrub with excellent year-round interest. This deciduous holly produces abundant small greenish-white flowers in late spring or early summer that are followed by a profusion of bright red berries in fall and winter. Extremely attractive, they enliven the winter landscape and often persist into early spring unless eaten by birds. The foliage consists of elliptic, toothed, glossy, dark green leaves. ‘Berry Poppins’ is a female plant and needs a male pollinator, such as ‘Mr. Poppins’, to produce attractive red berries.
