Winterberry Holly - Ilex verticillata

A vigorous upright-growing shrub with glossy, dark green summer foliage that transforms to yellow-green and purple-bronze tones in fall. 'Southern Gentleman' delivers exceptional winter interest with its striking seasonal color changes. Perfect for shrub borders, tall screens, or as a focal point in mixed plantings. Note: Ilex are dioecious—you'll need both male and female plants for berry production. One male plant can pollinate 5–10 female plants, provided they bloom simultaneously.
