Winterberry Holly
In addition to the straight species, there are many beautiful
cultivars of winterberry holly, including ‘Red Sprite’—a dwarf form that matures
at three to four feet tall, and ‘Sparkleberry’—known for an abundance of berries
that persist into spring.
To develop the above description, we used many sources,
including Michael Dirr’s Manual of Woody Landscape Plants
(Champaign, Illinois: Stipes Publishing, LLC, 1998), and the following websites:
Dendrology at Virginia Tech (dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dendrology/main.htm), the
University of Connecticut Plant Database (www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/), Wikipedia
(www.wikipedia.org), and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
(www.wildflower.org).
