Yes, indeed!

Coralberry is a great lowing growing shrub for open shade and edge of woodlands. It makes a fabulous taller groundcover, doesn't have much that bothers it, tolerates droughty summers and grows on average to poorer soils - and those fruit will hang on for a good long time through the winter.

Planted as an individual ornamental, one can head it back or shear it in early spring, and it forms a denser rounded mound. In native settings, no one plant is too dense, but it will readily colonize an area. It has survived here in competition from the invasive Bush Honeysuckles, and is thankful when the honeysuckles are beaten back and is willing to move back into newly open ground.

You can easily divide off a chunk and try it out in your landscape and see for yourself.
