Chenault Coralberry Bush (Symphoricarpos X Chenaultii ‘Hancock’) – 1 Gallon Pot

Other Names: Hancock Coralberry

Adored for its highly ornamental berries, the Chenault Coralberry is an amazingly adaptable North American native deciduous flowering shrub anyone in USDA Zones 4 to 7 can easily grow and enjoy. We hear some folks in zone 8 are having success with it in shade. At maybe 18 inches tall and spreading 8 to 12 feet wide, this dwarf cultivar is excellent for use as a groundcover or to cascade over walls. In early summer an abundance of small, bell-shaped, pink flowers appear. Though the flowers are cute, they are inconspicuous for the most part, but the butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators will surely enjoy them. The real prize is the abundant clusters of showy, coral-pink berries that persist well into winter. The birds and small mammals will thoroughly enjoy these. The low mound of arching branches are clothed in blue-green, oval-shaped leaves that remain attractive from spring to frost. Amazingly adaptable and non-demanding, plant this one in full sun or part shade and most any moist but well-drained soil of average to even poor fertility.
