With Symphoricarpos × 'Proud Berry®', you get a compact coralberry/snowberry-type shrub prized for its long-lasting, bright pink berry display that develops in late summer and fall. The tidy, well-branched habit and blue-green foliage make it easy to tuck into borders, naturalistic plantings, and mixed shrub beds where you want color after many flowers have faded.

Plant it where it receives full sun to part shade; more sun generally means heavier fruiting. Expect a mature size around 36-48 inches tall, with a similar spread when established. It adapts to many average garden soils as long as drainage is reasonable, and it fits nicely in mass plantings or as a small-scale specimen near paths and patios.

For best performance, prune in late winter or early spring as new growth begins. Many gardeners cut the plant back hard to encourage fresh, vigorous stems that set the most berries. The berries add seasonal interest outdoors and can be cut for indoor arrangements. As with many berrying shrubs, the fruit also provides value for birds in the landscape.
