  • Notes

This dwarf hybrid coralberry a low-growing, spreading, deciduous shrub which typically grows 12 to 18 inches tall and spreads 6 to 8 feet. Branches have a graceful arching habit, and the tips may root where they touch the ground. Leaves are roundish and a dark, matte green, with yellow fall color. Bell-shaped, pink flowers appear in summer along the stems in clusters and at the stem ends. Flowers give way to clusters of pink/coral berries which mature in autumn. Berries persist into winter providing excellent color and interest. Berry-laden winter stems may be cut for indoor floral arrangements. Wonderful groundcover for dry shade areas.
