Space-Saving and Compact

Bird Friendly Berries

Brighten your dreary winter garden with a bright orange pop of color with the Little Goblin® Orange Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata 'NCIV2')!

A deciduous Holly, Little Goblin has bright green foliage all growing season. Spring brings greenish-white blooms that attract loads of hungry bees and butterflies, but you may not notice them as they are nestled among the toothed glossy leaves!

Autumn brings extra large, orange berries that will have birds flocking to your landscape for a feast! Lasting well into the winter to add dark orange color to the dreary winter landscape!

Little Goblin® Orange requires a pollinator such as Little Goblin Guy Winterberry to produce the vibrant fall berries that last through the winter - if the birds don't take care of them for you first!

Growing best in acidic soils, this Holly is tolerant of wet, soggy, and clay soils, Little Goblin Orange Winterberry stays small and compact while still bringing a vivid pop of color with loads of bright orange fruit!

Slower growing and compact, this neat and tidy plant fits well into any garden or landscape and will never overpower or out shadow other plants. This convenient growth habit means no pruning is needed!

Use Little Goblin Orange Winterberry along streams, ponds, and water features, plus Winterberry gives rain gardens and run-off areas that lovely pop of color! Use as a specimen plant, an amazingly colorful foundation plant or a low hedge!

Snip a few stems for winter décor, but don’t forget to leave a few for your feathered friends!

Add some zing to your landscape with the tough Little Goblin Orange Winterberry from Nature Hills Nursery today!
