Coralberry is a dense, suckering, deciduous shrub native to Texas. It is commonly found in open woods, fields, pastures, and thickets throughout the state. It spreads by runners, forming impenetrable thickets in the wild. The shrub typically grows to a height of 2-5 feet with arching stems. In the summer, it produces bell-shaped, white flowers with a pink tinge arranged in clusters along the branches and at the ends of the stems.
These flowers give way to clusters of round, coral-red berries (drupes) that mature in the autumn and persist through most of the winter, adding color and interest to the landscape. The shrub has oval to elliptic bluish-green leaves approximately 2.5 inches long. The berry-laden winter stems are often used for indoor floral arrangements and are called Indian currant.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
