Ardisia Crenata

Ardisia crenata, commonly known as Christmas Berry, Coralberry or Spiceberry, is an attractive evergreen shrub native to East Asia. It is favoured for its lush, dark green, glossy leaves which have a wavy or crenated margin, giving the plant its distinctive appearance. This plant is particularly noted for its vibrant red berries that emerge in the winter, providing a striking contrast against the foliage. The small pink or white star-shaped flowers bloom in the summer, leading to the colourful berries that can last throughout the winter months. Coralberry is often used in ornamental indoor settings and can also thrive outdoors in suitable climates.
