Ilex Verticillata Mr. Poppins Pw 2 Gal

Dreaming of vibrant red or golden berries in your winter landscape? Well, don't forget to plant Mr. Poppins®, the pollinator for ALL Proven Winner® Ilex verticillata varieties; 'Berry Heavy®', 'Berry Poppins®', 'Berry Heavy Gold®' and 'Little Goblin Red®'. An excellent rain garden, boggy soil, wetland or riparian choice. One male plant will pollinate 4-5 female plants; plant them within 50’ of one another  to assure good pollination. As this shrub is pollinated by bees, planting other bee-loved flowering plants nearby will further increase chances of successful pollination, and therefore more berries! Use as a specimen or in groups.

Deer resistant, attracts pollinators, tolerates boggy soils. 

Full Sun-part sun. Any soil that moist-wet.  Zone 3-9. 

Pruning generally weakens plant's flower and fruit production. However, old branches can be removed in early spring if they are no longer producing vigorous growth.
