Coffeeberry

California coffeeberry is a striking native shrub prized for its ornamental berries that progress from red to deep purple-black as they mature. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil and adapts beautifully to full sun or partial shade, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes and native plant gardens. Its glossy foliage and seasonal berry display attract wildlife while requiring minimal maintenance once established. Perfect for erosion control, screening, or as a focal point in contemporary garden design
