Berryific Holly (Ilex x meserveae 'Berryific') is an exceptional holly shrub featuring glossy, deep green foliage paired with an impressive display of bright red berries each fall and winter. This unique cultivar cleverly grafts both male and female branches onto one plant, guaranteeing a plentiful berry display even in small gardens. Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, its dense, pyramidal shape creates striking visual interest and serves as a robust backdrop for perennial borders. Hardy and resistant to deer and rabbits, Berryific Holly provides reliable structure and seasonal beauty year-round.
Bringing a living Berryific Holly into your home during the holidays adds authentic charm and warmth that artificial decorations simply can't match. This holly makes an excellent gift, as recipients can plant it outdoors after winter to enjoy for years to come. With lush foliage and dazzling berries, it refreshes indoor spaces during the darkest months, connecting your family and guests to the natural beauty outside. Once warmer weather arrives, it transitions smoothly to an outdoor garden, enhancing your landscape long after the holidays have passed.
Holiday Berryific Holly Care
Keep your Berryific Holly healthy indoors by placing it near bright, indirect sunlight in a cool room with temperatures between 60-70°F. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil without allowing it to become waterlogged, and increase humidity levels with occasional misting or by placing a water tray nearby. Check frequently and let the top inch of soil dry out slightly before watering again.
As spring arrives, gradually acclimate Berryific Holly outdoors over a week or two by placing it outside for progressively longer periods each day. Choose a sunny location in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and dig a planting hole twice the size of the root ball. Position the holly so that it is level with the surrounding soil, fill the hole, and water thoroughly to establish a strong root system, finishing with a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots.
