Overview
The Coral Berry is an evergreen shrub that grows in a tidy mound shape. It produces dark green, glossy leaves and small pink flowers. Its name comes from the unique coral-colored berries that it develops later in summer. 'Kolmgala' is a cultivar that is especially prized for its spectacular deep pink flowers. Prune in winter to maintain a neat and compact shape. Coral Berry is drought tolerant and relatively low-maintenance. It's best in USDA Zones 5 to 8 and thrives in part shade or full sun in moist, well-drained soil. Its appeal lies in its showy flowers and eye-catching berries, and is an attractive addition to any garden.
