Winterberry holly is a deciduous shrub that is native to the eastern part of North America. It brightens up a dreary landscape because this plant produces bright globose red berries that are able to withstand the winter weather.

It is also special because it is a dioecious plant, which means that there are male and female plants.
Snowdrops are hardy, perennial plants that flower in the winter and in early spring, characterized by thin leaves and white, fragrant, bell-shaped flowers.
