    Developed for the Cut Flower Trade because it produces Berries in Abundance! Has more uniform coloring of berries in a slightly blue shade of pink (mauve). Makes a good short hedge and stunning in mass. Blooms on current year's wood so prune late winter/early summer.

    A great new coralberry from Germany, this produces abundant crops of vivid purple pink fruit in late summer Spring Meadow considers it superior to all other Coralberries.
