Proud Berry® Coral Berry (Symphoricarpos sp) is a very tough plant that produces leaves of green spring through fall. In late summer, it has bell-shaped white or pink flowers. In early fall, these flowers become pink fruit. The fruit is not edible, but they provide interest in the late fall and winter months.
The shrub is native to North America, in most of Canada and the northern United States. Since it is a cool weather plant, it will not be very successful in the southern portion of the United States. It is hardy in zones 3a-7b. Being native means the plant will be deer resistant. It also means it's helpful for wildlife, and birds may occasionally eat the berries. Catharina Marie Hoekstra-Arisz in the Netherlands developed this cultivar. It can be used in a number of ways: border, cut flower, mass plantings, landscape, as a specimen, and as a screen.
Proud Berry® Coral Berry Care
Proud Berry® Coral Berry likes an average moisture level in well-drained soils. It can be planted in full sun to part sun but will bear more fruit in full sunlight. Fertilize it after pruning each spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs.
In the early spring, just as new growth starts, prune the plant down to 12 inches tall. It will grow rapidly. Do not deadhead or you will not get berries.
Proud Berry® Coral Berry Spacing
Proud Berry® Coral Berry grows to 3-4 feet tall. It spreads 3-4 feet but can form a thicket of 4-6 feet wide if not cut back. It should be planted no closer than 3-4 feet to another plant.

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.

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.

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.
