Sparkleberry Winterberry is a slow-growing upright deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and luscious dark green foliage that turns yellow-green bronze in fall.  As a female cultivar, Sparkleberry produces heavy amounts of glossy bright red berries if pollinated that can persist into spring.   Best planted in moist,  slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Hollies are dioecious and need both male and female plants to produce fruit.

Ilex verticillata is a native food source for several animals and pollinators, and acts as a host for various moths and the Henry's Elfin Butterfly.  While the wildlife enjoys the berries they are toxic to humans.
