Symphoricarpos (Coralberry)
Color Name: Proud Berry®
Make autumn more colorful with plump, pink fruit! Proud Berry Coralberry makes it unbelievably easy to fill your landscape with these unique pink berries, guaranteed to turn heads. Cute, rounded, bluish-green leaves look handsome all season, then, in late summer, bell-shaped flowers appear. As the season changes to autumn, the flowers develop into large dark pink berries, the color intensifying with cold weather. As pretty as it is, this North American native is also amazingly tough, effortlessly fending off deer, cold weather, and problem soils. The fruit is not edible, but may be eaten by birds in mid-late winter. This plant makes an excellent cut flower for fall arrangements.
Growing Tips: Prune yearly to ensure best habit and presentation. Main season of interest is August-November. Fruit is not edible.
Soil: Adaptable to most soils; average moisture ensures longest lasting display.
Pruning: Cut back by about half in early spring.
Uses: Cutting gardens; specimen; mixed borders; foundation plantings; hedging.
