Red Sprite Winterberry (Ilex verticillata 'Red Sprite') is a compact, deciduous holly known for its vibrant display of bright red berries that persist through winter, providing striking seasonal interest and valuable food for birds. Growing only 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, this dwarf variety is ideal for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or mass plantings in wetter soils, such as along ponds or rain gardens. Its dark green leaves drop in the fall, allowing the abundant berries to take center stage against bare branches or snow. Red Sprite requires a male pollinator, such as Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy,' to produce fruit. Hardy in USDA zones 3–9, it’s a low-maintenance, cold-tolerant shrub that brings bold color and ecological benefit to the winter landscape.
