Ilex verticillata ‘Day Dream’

North American native, commonly referred to as “winterberry”. Abundant clusters of bright orange fruit. Upright, rounded habit, dark-green leaves turn to coppery gold in the autumn before dropping to expose the berries, which persist from early fall into winter, and provide substantial winter interest and nourishment for wildlife. An easy plant to site, winterberries are adaptable to most soils, but prefer moist, organic loams that are on the acidic side – the perfect choice for naturalized settings. Good for cutting- they’ll keep indoors for several weeks – no need to keep them in water.Tolerant of many soil types, this plant thrives in wet areas, providing nesting opportunities and forage for birds. Female holly. Winterberries need one male pollinator for 10 females to provide adequate pollination. Ht and Spr 6-8ft.
