(Symphoricarpos orbiculatus)
Coralberry, or Indian Currant is an excellent shrub for North Texas and is native to the region. It is a low-growing, spreading shrub, typically reaching 2-5 feet in height and 3-6 feet in width. It has small, oval, dull-green leaves and inconspicuous greenish-white to pinkish flowers in the summer.
Its most striking feature is the clusters of persistent coral-pink to purplish berries that appear in the fall and remain through the winter, providing great visual interest when other plants have gone dormant.
