Ilex Magical® Supreme Red

Small, dark red berries are ideal for floral arrangements

One of the most striking features of Magical® Supreme Red is its small, dainty fruit. From fall through winter, its upright branches are lined with richly colored, vibrant red berries, making this variety an exceptional choice for cut‑flower growers. Beyond its ornamental appeal, the berries also provide an important food source for wildlife—especially birds that depend on nutrient‑dense fruit during the colder months when resources are scarce.

This shrub is an excellent choice for moist soils, performing particularly well along streams, ponds, and in mixed shrub borders or native plant landscapes.
