When you plant the Berry Poppins® Winterberry you are sure of a heavy, heavy crop of bright red berries. Densely clustered on the bare branches, you will be amazed at their abundance, and how long they last through the winter months. This compact bush grows no more than 4 feet tall and wide, fitting well into any garden bed, or grouped in mass plantings around the garden or edging a wooded area . It is perfect along a stream or by a pond, as it loves wet ground. The glossy leaves are dark green, turning yellow in fall, and this easy bush is a ‘must have’ to brighten your winter garden.
Your Berry Poppins® Winterberry bushes will grow best in full sun, but they will be happy in partial shade too, and even in light full shade. This bush is hardy everywhere, from zone 3 to zone 9, and it grows in most garden soils that are not too dry, loving wet ground and acidic soil too. Pests and diseases are usually absent, and deer don’t generally bother with it. No special care is needed, and it shouldn’t be pruned. For a good berry crop plant a Jim Dandy Winterberry nearby, using one male for 5 Berry Poppins® Winterberry bushes.
