Find Your Growing Zone!

Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum) will be a great addition to your garden, borders and big containers. They don't even require any pruning to produce big yields for you! These plants sound exotic - and often command high prices at your local health food store - these are actually very easy to grow and are super-hardy plants.

The brilliant royal-purple flowers explode against the small grey-green leaves they flower in late spring/ early summer all along the length of the canes. The flowers turn to bright, juicy fruit that looks like small red peppers. The blooms look like tiny purple stars, and pollinators will come to investigate your plant in droves!

The longer you leave them on the plant, the sweeter they get. After the first flush, Goji Berry plants will flower and set fruit repeatedly until the first frost, so you have a whole summer of fresh, healthy and delicious super-fruit!

Planting and Application:

Goji Berry is a shrub that likes to sprawl. It has long flexible canes that can be trained up and out or left to run along low fences or even other shrubs. So plant on along a vegetable garden fence to help shade your plants from the worst of the summer sun, or train up an arbor to shade a seating area where you can pluck berries from the canes while reading a book!

Let ramble over an unsightly fence or train them into a hedgerow to both define your property and provide screening! These ornamental dual-purpose plants have so much to offer the landscape beyond just juicy, healthful fruit! You can even train them into shrubby bushes to use throughout the garden.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

The Goji Berry plant is resistant to disease and insects, but deer, raccoons and other wildlife will love the berries as much as you do! These plants are survivors and do well outside even up to zone 5 (-18 degrees is their tipping point).
