Winterberries are beloved landscape plants for their profusion of red berries that can persist well into winter. 'Red Sprite' was selected for its small stature and large, brilliant berries, so it's a perfect choice for a smaller garden.
Ensure you have a male cultivar (‘Jim Dandy’) planted nearby to provide pollination and guarantee maximum berry production.
