  AMETHYST™     Amethyst Coralberry

 

Amethyst is a remarkable new plant with vivid  pink berries that brighten up the garden in late summer and autumn. The effect is stunning to say the least! This new development comes to us from Germany where it has performed and sold extremely well.

Use Amethyst in mass plantings or hedges for the best color effect. It's an easy growing plant that is well adapted to even the most difficult growing conditions. Symphoricarpus x 'Kordes'

The vivid color of this new coral berry makes it superior to other varieties.  The deep purple-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.
