Jim Dandy Winterberry (Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy') is a male, deciduous holly cultivar grown primarily as a pollinator for early-flowering female winterberries like 'Red Sprite.' Although it does not produce berries itself, it plays a crucial role in ensuring fruit set on nearby female plants by providing compatible pollen. Compact and upright in form, Jim Dandy typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, with dark green foliage that drops in fall. It thrives in moist, acidic soils and is tolerant of wet conditions, making it well-suited for rain gardens, woodland edges, and naturalized areas. Hardy in USDA zones 4–8, Jim Dandy blooms in late spring and should be planted within 50 feet of female winterberries for effective pollination.
