The tiny and fragrant white flowers of this winterberry give way to bright red drupes that generously adorn the silvery gray branches long after the green-turned-yellow foliage departs in autumn. They lend a classic bright pop of color to any wintry landscape, with very little maintenance required. And our bird friends will certainly thank you for the tasty, nutritious snack to break up their rather boring wintertime diet.
