Description

(Winterberry Holly) Berry Poppins® Ilex means berries poppin everywhere! You want the berries for color in your winter landscape, but don't have room for traditional Hollies? Then we suggest giving Berry Poppins® winterberry holly a try. This compact variety stands 3-4 foot tall and wide, staying very tidy for a compact garden. Bountiful masses of large, bright, orange-red berries are produced for a colorful winter display. The leaves of Berry Poppins® drop early in the season producing a better fruit display. Ilex grow best in a full sun to part shade location. The berries will attract songbirds and make a great addition to cut floral arrangements. Use Mr. Poppins® or Jim Dandy as the male pollinator.

Reviews

It showed so much promise but died. I contacted Garden Crossing and got no where. Going to my local greenery. They guarantee their plants for a year.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your plant did not make it. We truly want every customer to have success with their plants.

Our plant guarantee covers plants for 30 days after delivery, and unfortunately, we were not contacted about this plant until after that warranty period had passed. We always encourage customers to reach out as soon as they notice a plant beginning to decline. Sending us a few photos early on gives our team the opportunity to help troubleshoot what may be happening and, when applicable, take care of the plant under our guarantee.

We know it’s disappointing to lose a plant, and we’re always happy to help with growing and care questions whenever we can.

Quality, strong plants

I ordered 3 Berry Poppins and 1 Mr. Poppins Ilex to add more winter color to my bird focused garden. They arrived securely packed and undamaged right on schedule. The plants themselves were healthy and well formed with just the right level of root development- not pot bound and not too young and wimpy, but ready to plant and take off in the ground. They grew quickly and are currently flowering away. I hope to have some berries this winter.

This is one of 10 plants I bought from GC. I really like their shipping process. The plants were in great shape and I have planted them

This is my second purchase with Garden Crossings. The plants arrived in great shape. I unpackaged them watered them and let them have some fresh air. I replanted in larger pots until next spring.
