Notes
'Shanghai Express' goji berry (Lycium barbarum 'Shanghai Express') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. Bees and birds visit it. Once settled, it is drought tolerant. Give it plenty of room, since it can spread wide.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Feather reed grass, and Lemon thyme.
