Ilex (winter berry)
Ilex verticillata · aka winterberry, holly berry
Ilex — the winterberry — is the definitive winter and holiday floral material. Dense red or golden berry clusters on bare branches provide graphic seasonal accent for wreaths, garlands, and installation work between November and February. Yellow-berry Ilex is prized by editorial designers for its rarer, more sculptural quality against the traditional red.
