Ilex 'Harvest Red'
Common Name: Harvest Red Holly
Ilex ‘Harvest Red’ is a dense evergreen holly shrub valued for its glossy dark green foliage and especially heavy display of bright red berries that persist well into winter on female plants when pollinated. The foliage is clean, lustrous, and neatly arranged, creating strong year-round structure, while the abundant berry set provides outstanding winter color. Type: Evergreen shrub Mature Size: Width: 5–7 ft · Height: 8–10 ft USDA Zones: 5a–9b Form: Upright, pyramidal Light: Full sun to part shade Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil Water: Medium; prefers regular moisture during establishment Wildlife: Berries attract birds Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for hedges, screening, foundation plantings, and specimen use where evergreen form and winter berry display are desired. The heavy berry production makes it especially valuable in winter landscapes. Care: Plant in well-drained acidic soil and avoid excessively dry conditions. Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping is needed. A male holly nearby is needed for berry production on female plants.
