This upright winter dazzler boasts bright red berries that provide color in early winter after the leaves have fallen off. The plant grows in sun or partial shade and a rich, well-drained soil, although it tolerates swampy areas. It has a moderate growth rate once and once established, it can tolerate extended periods of drought (though it would appreciate an occasional drink when times are especially dry). Winterberry is dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed for fruit production. They make festive additions to your holiday décor or flower arrangements. An added bonus? The fruits are often eaten by birds as the winter season progresses.
