Who says there is no color in winter, and who needs an evergreen when you have this American Native. Ilex ‘Red Sprite’: This female, deciduous winterberry cultivar is a large-berried, slow-growing, dwarf shrub with an upright, rounded habit. Growing only 2-3' tall with glossy medium green leaves drop in early autumn with no appreciable fall color. Inconspicuous white flowers are produced in the spring. This female winterberry produces profuse red berries measuring 3/8”- ½” which are extremely attractive in fall and winter, often persisting to early spring unless consumed by local bird populations. We grow Ilex ‘Jim Dandy’ as the companion male to ‘Red Sprite’. Zone 4-9
