Magical® Pride Coralberry

When your garden is beginning to look plain and tuckered out after a long growing season, here comes the sweet Magical® Pride Coralberry bush (Symphoricarpos doorenbosii 'Kolmprid') bursting onto the scene with its gorgeous fall and winter color!

Also known in some circles as a Snowberry, Magical® Pride features pink, bell-shaped blooms that pollinators adore! Then in the autumn, this deciduous shrub will burst forth brimming with beautiful berries on tall and arching stems! These berries are a great boon to the late-season garden and visiting wildlife during that often quiet transition time!

Magical® Pride was bred in the Netherlands for the massive floral industry there. They were bred to be easy to cultivate and to have an impressively long vase life too. No back-breaking work is required by you to get florist-quality cuts! The inedible berries are for ornamental purposes only and are gorgeous cut flowers when brought into the house to fill vases and bouquets!

This Coralberry shrub has lovely green leaves that drape off of the arching stems from spring to fall. In the spring the flowers start blooming, but you are waiting for the explosive fall show. That is when the berries bust out in profusion. The blueberry-sized fruits are like strings of soft-pink pearls all along the arching stems.

Planting and Application:

Magical® Pride Coralberry bushes are gorgeous focal points and large planter thrillers! But they are easy fillers for the back of the border and property definition! Easy breezy screening that will have everyone passing your landscape in the autumn and winter months!

Fantastic in mass plantings, Magical® Pride will perk up your garden when everything else is winding down for the season. Add some fresh color to an evergreen hedge or your foundation plantings, and as erosion control in large drifts stabilizing soil on hills and slopes.

You can't eat the berries, but birds love them! Plus, the thicket-forming shrubs are fantastic shelter and nesting for wildlife and songbirds as well! Create showy yet informal woodland groupings in out-of-the-way areas without worrying about Deer eating them down to the ground!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Full sun is best for flower and fruit production, but these shrubs are tolerant of some shade too! Find a planting site with well-drained soil, and if your soil stays soggy or wet a long time after rainfall...bring in additional soil to create an elevated mound or raised bed.

Provide a moderate amount of water regularly. They will remain happy and stress-free with supplemental water as needed, especially when grown in a container. Apply a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch to keep the roots moist and cool. Always pull mulch back away from directly touching the stems.

Coralberry blooms on new wood from this year's growth, so only prune them in late winter or early spring. Renewal pruning is another great way to keep your shrub growing vigorously and fruiting best. Remove the oldest stems out at the ground every 3-5 years to keep them fruitful!

• Both Full Sun to Partial Shade
• Any Well-Drained Soil Type
• Moderate to Higher Moisture
• Prune Early Spring Before Growth Starts
• Deer Seldom Bother Them
