Coral berry is a charming addition to many gardens, bringing pretty berries that can brighten up the winter landscape. It's relatively low maintenance but does best in well-drained soil with part sun to full shade. As for wildlife, birds are known to enjoy the berries, making it a nice choice if you're looking to attract feathered friends.
However, it can indeed become invasive in certain environments, spreading through suckers. Regular pruning and keeping it confined can help manage its growth. Companion plants like native grasses or shade-tolerant perennials (e.g., ferns or hostas) can complement its form and ensure it doesn't dominate the space. Keep an eye on it, and you'll likely enjoy its generous presence!
