Candy Coralberry is a compact native deciduous shrub with an arching suckering habit and rounded blue green foliage. Clusters of insignificant deep pink flowers bloom in midsummer and are replaced by beautiful clusters of large candy pink drupes in fall that persist in winter. Grows best in average, well-drained soils.
