Shrubs with winter berries – more info

From the scarlet berries of Cotoneaster franchetii to the sunny yellow of Pyracantha ‘Soleil d’Or’, adding winter berries to your garden is easy and rewarding. To get the best out of your shrubs, use mycorrhizal fungi when planting. For more advice on growing these garden stalwarts, see our shrubs info page and FAQs below.

Which evergreen shrubs have winter berries?

English yew (Taxus baccata), and Gaultheria procumbens are evergreens with red berries. Holly and pyracantha are also evergreen and have berries of red, yellow or black. Sarcococca and Skimmia japonica have the added bonus of scent.

Which shrubs with winter berries are best for small gardens?

Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ is an upright variety that creates a relatively narrow shrub. Taxus baccata varieties can be clipped to keep them small, and holly can be grown in a container or as a standard.

Which winter shrubs are best for birds?

Shrubs that produce berries are an important food source for birds. Grow holly, cotoneaster and pyracantha with red berries – easily spotted in green foliage, and birds seem to prefer them over other colours.
