Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • Although winterberry will tolerate some shade, fruit production is best in sunny locations, but do not allow plants to dry out, especially during hot summer droughts.   Ilex verticillata plants are dioecious (plants are either male or female). Any necessary pruning should be done soon after the flowers are finished, but keep in mind that berry production will be diminished.  Branches of berries are decorative and are frequently used in flower arrangements.
Note

Additional Notes

  • The 'Jim Dandy' cultivar was introduced in 1992 by Simpson Nursery in Vincennes, Indiana.
