Coralberry is a tough and adaptable deciduous shrub that brings year-round interest to native plant landscapes. In summer, it produces small, pale pink flowers that are subtle but attractive to pollinators. These blooms give way to dense clusters of vibrant magenta-red berries that persist into winter, offering an important food source for birds and wildlife when little else is available. Coralberry grows well in a range of conditions, tolerating shade, drought, and poor soils once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance naturalistic gardens, woodland edges, or restoration projects. Its arching stems and suckering habit make it ideal for soil stabilization and creating habitat in wild or unmanaged areas.
