Bring home the ultimate winter "pow" with the Berry Poppins® and Jim Dandy Combo. This specialized pairing brings together the prolific, dwarf female Berry Poppins® with her essential early-season male pollinator, Jim Dandy. By planting these two together, you ensure a spectacular, reliable display of bright red berries that will light up your dormant landscape all winter long.
Key Features & Benefits
Guaranteed Berry Production: Winterberries are dioecious (having separate male and female plants). This combo ensures you have the correct early-blooming male (Jim Dandy) to pollinate the heavy-fruiting female (Berry Poppins®).
Spectacular Winter Show: After the dark green summer foliage drops in late autumn, the stems are revealed to be absolutely loaded with a massive crop of brilliant scarlet-red berries.
Compact, Space-Saving Habit: Unlike traditional sprawling winterberries, Berry Poppins® is a dwarf variety, reaching a manageable 3–4 feet tall and wide. It is perfect for small gardens, foundation plantings, or low hedges.
Extreme Canadian Hardiness: This native North American shrub is "tough as nails" and reliably hardy down to Zone 3. It thrives in cold climates where other plants struggle.
Wildlife Magnet: The vibrant berries are a critical food source for over 40 species of birds, including robins, cedar waxwings, and bluebirds, throughout the winter months.
Deer Resistant & Low Maintenance: Once established, these shrubs are naturally resistant to deer and require very little pruning to maintain their tidy, rounded shape.
