Medium sized shrub grows to about 5' tall. Flowers are soft pink from late spring to frost followed by rich red berries relished by birds. It is evergreen if there are no freezing temps. Native from south Texas south into Mexico. It takes shearing well and in colder climes, can be a great pot specimen.

Frost tolerant to 25 F.
