Coralberry {Symphoricarpos Orbiculatus} Showy Ornamental | Privacy Shrub | 20+ seeds Free Shipping US 

Coralberry is a native dense suckering shrub that grows 2-5 feet tall 
and 4-8 feet wide with arching stems. It is easy to grow in average 
well-drained soils of various types. Coralberry adapts to partial sun, 
moist to dry conditions, and loamy or rocky soil. If spreading is not 
desired then remove the root suckers. It is commonly found in forests 
or natural areas of bottomland woods of eastern and central USA.

This is a great shrub for naturalized areas or an informal shrub border. 
Plant it on a slope for erosion control. It will attract wildlife to your yard.

No serious insect or disease problems. Coralberry is colonial. It does best 
in natural areas. It needs more than one genetic strain to fruit.

The flowers of the coralberry are definitely not its most colorful feature. 
In fact, the small, greenish-white to pink flowers are pretty unremarkable. 

These bell-shaped flowers have four or five petals and bloom in the spring 
to summer months. 

It is the fruits of this plant that are showy, ripening in the fall and 
persisting right through the winter months. These drupes are up to about ¼ 
inch (6.3mm) across and coral pink to reddish-purple, giving the plant its 
common name. 

Very easy to grow and generally unfussy and trouble free. They can look a 
little unkempt on their own, so they are best grown as a hedge or as part 
of a shrubbery.
Plant outside in early autumn or spring. Container grown plants can be planted 
out at any reasonable time of year.

Snowberries will grow almost anywhere in sun or shade and in almost any type of 
well-drained soil, even poor soils. The best berries are produced when grow in an 
open sunny position. Pollution and drought tolerant once established.

Useful for informal hedging. The autumn branches of S. albus laevigatus, with 
lush white fruits are ideal for flower arranging.
Snowberry easily self-seeds and spreads by suckers, so it can become invasive 
if not kept in check.
