Bring classic Christmas red to your front porch with Red Sprite Winterberry from Green Promise Farms. Once the leaves drop, clusters of bright red berries stand out against the bare branches. After the holidays, give this compact shrub a spot in the garden, where its winter berries can attract songbirds.

How to Grow
Plant in full sun or part sun in USDA Zones 3–8. ‘Red Sprite’ thrives in moist to wet, acidic soil and reaches 3–4 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide at maturity. For berry production, plant a compatible male winterberry nearby, such as ‘Jim Dandy’.
