Ilex verticillata Magical® Amaranth
Extra large dark red berries

Everything about this winterberry holly is exceptional! Extra-large, dark red berries compete for space from the ground up on every stem, in an extraordinary floral display.
An upright variety, with a rounded habit, it’s easy to see how quickly it has become the top choice for holiday decorating; Long straight stems, laden with fruit, can be cut for floral arrangements, filling your living space both inside and out with color.
