What people are saying ... I love this plant! It is one of my favorites in my garden. Very easy to grow and very hardy. I purchased it because it flowers and gets berries. Last year it had so many berries the branches arched to the ground. I thought I lost it this year. Then I saw small leaf buds on some of the branches. I pruned out the ones that didn't show any life. Now it looks better than ever and very full. Jane G., Zone 5, Canada. Hardiness: USDA Zone 3 Bloom Time: Mid-summer Bloom Color: Pale pink or white Fruit: RIch purple-pink fruit in late summer Size: 3-5 feet tall and wide Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Very tolerant of any soil. Native on limestone and clay. Pruning: Best if done in late fall or early spring. Watering: Medium moisture. Wildlife: Birds Type: Deciduous Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees & shrubs. Follow the label for recommended rate of application. Uses: Holding banks, cuts, fillers, specimen, winter gardens, woodland gardens, screens or shrub borders. Breeder: Gunther Kordes of Germany The vivid color of this new coral berry makes it superior to other varieties. The deep purple-pink fruit is much brighter and showier in the landscape than that of other coral berry cultivars. AMETHYST™ coralberry has good branching and a neat habit, unlike the rangy forms seen in many older types. This is a great plant to include in the home garden. It provides vivid color in mid-summer, and works nicely in informal woodland type gardens. It has been reported to be somewhat deer resistant.
