Discover the enchanting beauty of Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, commonly known as Coralberry or Indian Currant. This deciduous shrub, a native to the Eastern United States and Mexico, thrives in USDA zones 2 to 7, providing a versatile addition to any landscape. With a height of 2 to 5 feet and a spread of 4 to 8 feet, its arching stems are adorned with bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers from June to July, creating a captivating summer display. As autumn arrives, these blooms give way to vibrant clusters of coral-red berries that persist through winter, offering stunning visual interest and drawing in birds and wildlife.

Coralberry is incredibly adaptable, flourishing in full sun to part shade and tolerating an array of soil conditions, including clay and dry soils. Ideal for naturalizing in woodland settings, erosion control on slopes, or as an informal hedge, it's as practical as it is beautiful. Its resistance to deer, drought, and erosion makes it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance elegance. Whether enhancing a rain garden or contributing to ecological restoration projects, Coralberry's robust character and ornamental appeal make it a standout choice. Enjoy its unique charm in your outdoor oasis today!
