Give Winter interest to your landscape with 'Berry Heavy Gold' holly

Berry Heavy® Gold Ilex verticillata Available from http://shrubsource.com/shop-all-shrubs/ilex-berry-heavy-gold TGM recommends this Winter berry holly for seasonal interest as the berries are prolific, and they persist...in other words they tend to stay on the plant long after the leaves have dropped. You get the golden berries plus a dramatic branching structure that can be pruned to perfection. Note that Ilex verticillata comes in red also, so you might try planting both cultivars in an arrangement of 3:1. Give these hollies a space of about 8' x 8'. Plants also attract birds.
