Plant Features

Mr. Poppins® Winterberry is a compact male  that is essential for ensuring the fruitful display of any female winterberry. While it may not boast the vibrant berries of its female counterparts, its pivotal role in pollination cannot be overlooked. Just one Mr. Poppins® can successfully pollinate up to 5 female plants, as long as they're within a 50' radius. This advantage allows gardeners to place female plants in prime, visible spots, while the less decorative Mr. Poppins® can be positioned discreetly in the background.

With its low, mounded structure, Mr. Poppins® showcases a dense blanket of dark green leaves, reaching a modest height. It's not just a functional addition, but also a subtle green backdrop for the garden. As the perfect pollinator for female winterberries, Ilex verticillata Mr. Poppins® ensures a bountiful berry display, proving its indispensable value in the landscape.
