Brighten Up Your Winter Landscape with Berry Poppins®

When the weather begins to grow colder, Berry Poppins® is ready to shine! This stunning winterberry holly provides year-round interest, starting in the spring when delicate white flowers burst forth. The flowers transition to small green berries, which are mostly hidden by the glossy green leaves. As autumn arrives, the berries begin to change colors and the foliage shifts to a blazing yellow. As the temperature cools and the days shorten, Berry Poppins® puts on her amazing show of branches laden with bright red berries.

Compact with a dwarf habit, Berry Poppins® is practically perfect for any small space. Easy to grow and care for, this holly is resistant to deer and pests. You’ll love seeing the many birds and pollinators who flock to this native evergreen during each season.

All winterberry hollies have male and female varieties, and both plants must be present in order for the female Berry Poppins® to produce her signature red berries. An excellent choice for a pollinator mate is Mr. Poppins®, and only one male specimen is needed for up to five female hollies. For best results, plant the males and females within 50 feet of each other in order to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to ensure fruit. Add the lovely Berry Poppins® to your landscape today!

About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties. That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.

Even after being dug up by the racoon it is sprouting new leaves and looking healthy.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Kristine, new leaves after a raccoon encounter is a true comeback story! Berry Poppins Holly is such a resilient little shrub and yours sounds like it's determined to thrive. We hope it keeps growing strong and stays safely in the ground from here on out!

So far, so good!

I'm hoping they grow fast enough to stay above the weeds and that Mr Poppins is capable of fertilizing them well but so far (about 1. 5 wks after planting) they seem to be establishing and growing new leaves well. Fingers crossed!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertNew leaves after just a week and a half is a great sign that they're already establishing well! Berry Poppins Holly are such a rewarding shrub and we're really hopeful they take off and stay ahead of those weeds. Fingers crossed for a great growing season!

After one year

I bought 4 Berry Poppins and 1 Mr Poppins one year ago. They all survived my Zone 4 Minnesota winter. Very small though. I'm hoping they will come around. .

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe’re so thrilled all five of your Berry Poppins and Mr Poppins Hollies survived a Zone 4 Minnesota winter, Lorraine! That’s a real testament to how tough these plants are. We completely understand your patience waiting for them to fill out. As a nursery, we grow younger plants that establish slowly but surely, and yours have already proven their resilience through a harsh winter. Give them another season or two and you should see them really come around. We’re rooting for them!
