The vivid color of this new coral berry makes it superior to other varieties. The vibrant hot pink fruit is much brighter and showier in the landscape than that of other coral berry cultivars. AMETHYST™ has good branching and a neat habit, unlike the rangy forms seen in many older types. This is a great plant to include in the home garden. It provides vivid color in mid-summer, and works nicely in informal woodland type gardens. It has been reported to be somewhat deer resistant.

Blooms in mid summer with vibrant hot pink berries abounding in autumn. Dark foliage is striking in spring to summer. Attractive to birds.

Great in the landscape or can be used in pots on the patio. Beautiful when used as a cut flower it will bring life to any bouquet or floral display. Good for holding banks, as a filler or specimen, good for winter and woodland gardens, good as a screen.

Very tolerant of any soil, native on limestone and clay. Best if pruned in late fall or early spring. Medium moisture. Deciduous shrub. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for the recommended rate of application.
