Fall is the perfect time to plant some new shrubs in the garden, while the ground is still warm to work with. One to add to your list this year is winterberry (Ilex verticillata), a beautiful deciduous shrub that has bare branches full of bright red berries in winter.
Not only is it one of the best shrubs with winter berries, but this shrub is a type of holly bush, that also displays beautiful blooms in spring. Unlike common holly (an evergreen shrub), this deciduous shrub loses its deep green leaves in winter to show off its vibrant fruits. It's also native to the US, making it an excellent choice for supporting wildlife and biodiversity.
