Other: The coralberry is a cold hardy, small mounding shrub native to North America, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens. It thrives even in full shade and features purplish stems and striking flowers in the spring. In the fall, it produces coral-pink berries that remain visually appealing through winter. The non-edible berries and cut branches are perfect for decorative arrangements. Coralberry attracts bees and butterflies for pollen and nectar, while birds like robins utilize the bush for nesting and enjoy the berries. Known to some as buckbrush, it is also favored by white tail deer. This plant is tolerant of a variety of soils, including sand and clay, and is often used for erosion control.
