Lychium chinense – Wolfberry. Small gray-green leaves and purple flowers for a long season are followed with small red berries. Wolfberry can be grown as an open upright shrub with some of its arching branches self-layering where they touch the ground. It can be well-employed as a utilitarian shrub stabilizing embankments sited in full sun to part shade. Plant Lychium chinense in less than fertile soils. It will become an impressive though somewhat coarse shrub in time. Cutting grown.
