Also known as "deciduous " hollies, these plants turn a gorgeous shade of YELLOW or ORANGE-RED in fall, then drop their leaves just as their berries are beginning to turn a brilliant RED!
As a male holly, 'Southern Gentleman' produces few or no berries of his own. However, if you plant one 'Southern Gentleman' for about every 5 'Winter Red' female Winterberries, you'll be assured that 'Winter Red' will be covered with berries all winter!
'Southern Gentleman' flowers in spring at the same time as 'Winter Red', ensuring good cross-pollination. Males may be planted up to about 50' away from females.

Botanical Name
Ilex verticillata 'Southern Gentleman'
Rate of Growth
Southern Gentleman' grows to 6-8' tall and wide in 5 years, at a rate of 12-18" a year.
Where to Plant
Plant in sun to light shade.
