BERBERIDOPSIS corallina. Chile. A beautiful twining shrub with slender, dark green stems and 2-3" toothed, roughly heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are dark and satiny in surface, creating a clean, elegant foliage mass. In summer it bears pendant clusters of ½" dark red, lantern-shaped blossoms. Sun or light shade near the coast, part shade inland, well drained, preferably acid soil, moderate watering. Hardy to 20^oF or less, though young shoots are damaged by sudden hard freezes.
