The Berry Box™ Pyracomeles is an evergreen shrub that offers lovely color and texture all year long. The green foliage is glossy and has a narrow form that gently curls. Tiny, five-petaled flowers bloom in the spring and completely cover the entire shrub. The white flowers have hints of pink near the eye. Around late summer, the flowers give way to pea-sized red berries. The berries are small, but the sheer number creates a dazzling display of wintertime color.
This compact shrub will look amazing near the front of a mixed bed or anchoring a foundation planting. Feature the Berry Box™ Pyracomeles in a container to add color to an entryway, deck, or balcony. Pyracomeles is a hardy shrub that is disease resistant and can handle the summer heat. The Berry Box™ Pyracomeles is also deer resistant, which is impressive for an evergreen shrub. It grows as a perennial in zones 7 through 9.
Berry Box™ Pyracomeles Care
Plant this easy-care bush in full to partial sun. An area that receives 4 to 6 hours of sunlight will provide the best results. The Berry Box™ Pyracomeles can live in average soil and has medium water needs. Consistently water this shrub for the first growing season. Established plants only need water during a dry spell, while container-grown plants need water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Feed this plant using a fertilizer formulated for roses or evergreen shrubs.
This shrub has a natural mounded form but can be trimmed for a more formal look. Prune as needed in the early spring.
Berry Box™ Pyracomeles Spacing
The Berry Box™ Pyracomeles grows 2 to 3.5 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart to create a hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
