Pigeonberry

Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade; golden dewdrop is a vigorous tropical shrub that provides two seasons of ornamental interest — lavender to purple tubular flowers from spring through fall, followed by clusters of small golden-yellow berries that drape like strings of dewdrops and persist on the plant for months, creating the common name. The berries are the primary food source for many songbirds, particularly mockingbirds and robins. Be aware that the berries and leaves are toxic to humans, dogs, and cats. The popular weeping cultivar 'Geisha Girl' has larger, richer purple flowers; 'Gold Mound' is a compact, dwarf golden-foliage form. Prune severely in late winter to maintain a compact, manageable shape — unpruned plants can reach tree size. Outstanding as a large informal screen, espalier, or specimen shrub for zone 8–11 gardens where its rapid growth and dual seasonal interest make it highly effective. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 48–72 дюймів Висота: 60–216 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–42 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
