Oh, never! Bayberries are actually slightly waxy. They don't smoosh. And the birds completely strip them of berries, which is amazing, because with 14 of them, we had thousands of berries.

Here is the combo at ground level. Bayberry branches, the lovely shiny leaves of the anemones before bloom, the salvia and a bonus, digitalis 'Husker Red'. Looked great all season, and required no maintenance or extra water once established. Looked great all season, because all the the plants but the digitalis fought to a draw, and the'Husker Red' is one tough plant. PERFECT for areas that will be seen by passers by all year round, but also different and colorful, and the only plant that needed a little help was the bayberry, because of our soil.
