Notes
Coral plant (Berberidopsis corallina) is a vine for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It stays evergreen all year. Blooms appear in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Plan for a tall climber, since it can reach well over 10 feet.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Pittosporum, and Plum Royale coral bells.
