Such perfection! You'll love the evergreen tiers of deep green glossy foliage smothered by tiny, creamy white flowers in early summer followed by copious amounts of fruit covering the spreading branches and turning a shocking coral-pink in the fall. The fruit hangs on all winter as the foliage becomes brushed with deep purple to create an truly stunning contrast and making this one of the best winter interest shrubs for the landscape. More compact than the species, 'Coral Beauty' spreads rapidly without becoming invasive and works wonders as a weed suppressing groundcover. Drought resistant, wind resistant and tolerant of any well-drained soil, 'Coral Beauty' can't be beat for easy care elegance. Grow in full to part sun and fertilize annually for outstanding berry production.
