One such plant, that we have found to be fairly popular in the Pismo Beach area is the Hollyleaf Redberry. It’s name give you a good idea of what it looks like, but the beautiful red berries really need to be seen to be fully appreciated. These plants are perfect for when you’re looking for splashed of red that will attract a wide variety of wildlife.
Hollyleaf Redberry is fairly easy to care for and grows well in a variety of soils. It is best planted on well-draining slopes and likes rocky, well-drained soils the best, but it can grow in other areas as well. Fast to medium drainage is best, no matter where the plants are located.
The Hollyleaf Redberry is very drought tolerant and needs very little in the way of summer water – from none to once watering per month.
These plants are mounded and can range from 3 – 9 feet tall and 3 – 9 feet wide. They are a slow growing evergreen that bloom from April to June, producing bright red fruits after the blooming period. Some of the favorite uses for the Hollyleaf Redberry are for hummingbird gardens, butterfly gardens and hedges. They are found naturally in foothills and mountains across coastal California.
The Hollyleaf Redberry can be paired with a large variety of other types of plants. Companion plants include oaks such as the Coast Like Oak and Scrub Oak, Woolly Bluecurls, Coast Sagebrush, California Buckwheat, Manzanita, as well as various Yucca and cactus species.
They are a great choice for the splash of color they provide, but many residents have also chosen them because they work so well with so many other plants. This allows for a wide choice and gives residents the ability to get the perfect look and feel for their outdoor living spaces.
