This is one of our most attractive dry-shade plants! Most attractive during october thru january when persistant berries are bright magenta. This is a very low maintenance plant that you can leave tree leaf litter and not water in the summer. Great for mass plantings to fill space. Good alternative to struggling with lawn grass in dry shade.

Years ago, I walked through the woods when the
Coralberry happened to be loaded with their colorful
berries. Needless to say, I've spent many moments over
the years digging up and dragging home this little cutie.
I have several of the plants about our yard and gardens.
They are very attractive, especially when cared for rather
than left alone in the woods.
