Corallina is such a pretty little girl! Petite and compact with softly arching branches 2’ high and wide, evergreen softly prickled foliage and zowie zounds of brilliant orange flowers blushed with rose in spring. Loves to bask in the sun, most soils, seems to survive with no water once established AND deer/critter resistant!

By: Forestfarm

A fantastic fine textured evergreen plant that only reaches 30cm or so in height with brilliant orangish yellow flowers and a charming compact habit. It's a cross of Berberis darwinii x Berberis empetrifolia; with parents like that it's no surprise that it is a standout.
