In a Sunset Magazine, there is an article about berries to decorate your garden in the fall. There is a picture of a Harlequin glorybower with a beautiful red star and in the middle of the star is a blue berry. It is a shrub or smallish tree, apparently. Can anyone tell me more about this?

Hardiness Zones: 6 to 9
Height: 8 ft Spread: 5 ft Form: upright
Type: deciduous shrub
Annual Growth Rate: more than 18 inches
Flowers: White
Fruit: Blue

Comments: This shrub will die to the ground each winter in
cold climates. The main ornamental traits are the white,
tubular flowers. These are followed by bright blue fruit
which are surrounded by a red calyx. The plant forms
clumps of upright stems.

I have the glorybower, and you will have all you want when you get one. I'm not sure if it's spreading by seed or roots, but I pull them up and discard them, I've had so many come up in that one spot. Mine looks more pink and blue. It is very unique looking. Kinda have to hunt for the flowers at first, they are very small, but do bloom in a cluster.

I saw a small one today, but I guess you had rather wait until spring? If you want it now, that's okay by me. Dori, you first, then I'll look to see if there are any others hidden beneath the larger ones tiG. If not, I'm sure there will be plenty more in the spring. You might better remind me though, both of you if you don't get them now. I tend to have those "senior moments" (I'm only 48).
