Origins & Description

The Port Orford cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is native to the Pacific Northwest, where it grows into towering trees. Cultivated selections like ‘Haywire’ were bred for compact garden use and distinctive foliage character.

Haywire stands out for its thread-like sprays of blue-green foliage with a slightly twisted habit, giving it both elegance and whimsy. It grows at a moderate pace into a narrow, upright form about 8–12 feet tall, perfect for smaller gardens where a standard arborvitae or spruce might overwhelm.

Unlike some conifers that lose color in winter, Haywire retains a steady, muted blue-green tone year-round, making it a dependable anchor plant in all seasons.

Ideal Growing Conditions (Southeast Wisconsin Focus)

• Light: Full sun to light shade. More sun enhances stronger color and tighter form.

• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Avoid heavy clay that stays wet, as this can lead to root issues.

• Moisture: Consistent moisture is important, especially in the first 2–3 years. Mulch helps retain soil moisture.

• pH: Slightly acidic soils (5.5–6.5) are best.

• Hardiness: Hardy to Zone 5. In exposed Wisconsin winters, wind protection (such as burlap screens) can prevent desiccation.

Planting & Establishment

When to Plant:

• Spring (April–May): Ideal for strong establishment before summer heat.

• Early Fall (September): Allows root growth while soil is still warm.

How to Plant:

1. Dig a hole twice as wide and equal depth as the root ball.

2. Place the plant so its crown sits level with soil.

3. Backfill with amended native soil, water deeply, and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.

4. Keep mulch a few inches from the trunk to prevent rot.

Spacing: Plant 3–5 feet apart for screening; single specimens can stand alone with room to show off their character.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in hot summers. Deep weekly watering is better than frequent shallow watering.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly in spring with a conifer fertilizer or compost to encourage steady growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen.

• Pruning: Minimal. Naturally tidy and narrow, but can be lightly shaped in early summer if desired. Avoid cutting into old wood, as regrowth may not occur.

• Winter Care: In open or windy exposures, wrap young plants with burlap for the first few winters to prevent foliage burn.

Heritage Hill Nursery offers Ilex verticillata ‘Red Sprite’, a top-performing selection for our region:
👉 Shop Red Sprite Winterberry

Origins & Description

Winterberry holly is native to eastern North America, thriving in wetlands, woodland edges, and moist meadows. Unlike evergreen hollies, this species is deciduous, dropping its leaves in autumn to reveal heavy clusters of red fruit on bare stems.

The ‘Red Sprite’ cultivar is one of the most compact and berry-laden selections available. Its fruit is larger than most winterberry varieties, and because of its smaller stature, the berries are displayed prominently, creating an eye-catching winter feature.

As with all hollies, Red Sprite is dioecious, meaning it requires a male pollinator nearby for berry production. The male cultivar ‘Jim Dandy’ is the best pollinator for Red Sprite, flowering at the same time.

Ideal Growing Conditions (Southeast Wisconsin Focus)

• Light: Full sun to part shade. More sun means heavier fruit set.

• Soil: Prefers moist, acidic soils rich in organic matter. Tolerates clay soils if drainage is adequate.

• Moisture: Excellent choice for rain gardens, low spots, or near water features. Requires consistent moisture to thrive.

• pH: Slightly acidic soils (5.0–6.5) are best; avoid alkaline soils which can cause chlorosis.

• Hardiness: Extremely cold-hardy, thriving in Wisconsin’s harsh winters.

Planting & Establishment

When to Plant:

• Spring (April–May): After soil has thawed and dried enough to work.

• Early Fall (September): Gives roots time to establish before winter.

How to Plant:

1. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the container.

2. Place the plant level with surrounding soil.

3. Backfill with soil mixed with compost for fertility.

4. Water deeply and apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer, keeping mulch away from the crown.

Pollination Needs:
For berries to form, plant a male pollinator (‘Jim Dandy’) within 50 feet of female shrubs. One male can pollinate multiple females.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Red Sprite does not tolerate prolonged drought.

• Fertilization: Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer (similar to azalea or rhododendron food) in spring.

• Pruning: Minimal. If needed, prune in late winter before spring growth. Avoid heavy pruning as it may reduce berry set.

• Pests & Disease: Generally pest-free and not favored by deer, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice.

• Winter Care: No special protection needed. Berries naturally persist through snow and ice.

Propagation

Winterberry can be propagated by softwood cuttings in summer or by division of suckers. However, for reliable performance, it’s best to purchase named cultivars like Red Sprite and its pollinator Jim Dandy.

Landscape Uses & Companions

• Winter Interest: Outstanding berry display provides seasonal cheer and curb appeal.

• Wildlife Gardens: A valuable food source for winter birds such as cedar waxwings and robins.

• Rain Gardens: Thrives in damp, low-lying areas.
