Symphoricarpos ×chenaultii ‘Hancock’ – Chenault Coralberry – 3-Gallon

From Missouri Botanical Garden:

a suckering shrub with arching stems and a procumbent growth habit. Parents are S. microphyllus and S. orbiculatus. Elliptic to broad-ovate dark green leaves (to 1.5” long) have downy undersides. Bell-shaped pink or white flowers in short racemes bloom in summer, but are often somewhat ornamentally insignificant. Flowers are followed by showy white berries (each to 1/2” diameter) which are usually flushed pink on the side of the berry which is exposed to direct sun. Berries mature in early fall, but typically persist on the plant into late fall or winter. Berries are particularly noticeable on this shrub after leaf drop.

‘Hancock’ is a dwarf procumbent cultivar which rarely exceeds 20” in height, but will spread, often profusely over time, to as much as 8-12’ wide. It was first observed growing at Hancock Nurseries, Cookville, Ontario, Canada in the early 1940s. Pink flowers in late summer are followed by coral pink berries.
