Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy' / WINTERBERRY HOLLY

Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy,' commonly known as Winterberry Holly, is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its vibrant display of red berries that persist through the winter, providing color and interest in the colder months. This male cultivar is valued for its role in pollination, as it is necessary to pollinate female Winterberry Holly plants, enabling them to produce the characteristic bright red berries. 'Jim Dandy' features dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall, offering seasonal foliage interest before the berries appear. It thrives in moist, acidic, and well-drained soils, performing well in both full sun and partial shade, making it an excellent choice for wetland areas, rain gardens, or landscapes in need of a pollinator plant. Known for its hardiness and low-maintenance care, Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy' is an essential addition for gardeners looking to grow Winterberry Holly and attract birds and wildlife to their landscape.
