‘Berry Poppins’ is a compact winterberry holly prized for its abundant display of bright red berries in fall and winter. The berries stand out especially well after the leaves drop, providing valuable winter color and food for birds. Like other winterberries, it is a deciduous holly, so the foliage disappears in winter while the berries remain prominent. A male winterberry cultivar, such as ‘Mr. Poppins’, is needed nearby for pollination and reliable berry production. One ‘Mr. Poppins” can pollinate up to 5 nearby ‘Berry Poppins.’ It prefers moist soils and performs well in rain gardens, woodland edges, naturalized plantings, and shrub borders.
Height: 3–4 ft
Width: 3–4 ft
Flower time: May–June
Sun/Shade: Full sun to part shade
