Red Sprite Holly

I was walking through the nursery this morning and I noticed some deciduous shrubs with the showiest red berries. Being leafless the berries really show off. It is a shrub growing to about 5' tall and wide. As most holly do in our climate it does better with a little afternoon shade.

This is a new plant for us that Shelby, our shrub buyer, brought in for the winter color. I think it can be a real asset mixed in with evergreen shrubs. It does need a male polinizer Jim Dandy that can be planted next to it and kept small so the two plants fill the space of one.

We just have a few so if you think you might like a heavy berry producer to brighten the garden winter come in and look at them. They are presently at the north end of our brick walkway. You can't miss the berries.
