Ardisia Crenata, 1/2L  Spring Flowering Bulbs Author Ursula Ferrigno’s family hailCommonly known as Coral Berry, Ardisia Crenata is a wonderful ornamental plant that becomes particularly useful over the Christmas season for adding some vibrancy to a festive display. Its hanging clusters of berries, yellow before ripening red, are retained over many weeks, contrasting against its dark green serrated leaves. Frost tender, it is often found as a houseplant.
