Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Hancock coralberry is a low-growing, spreading shrub. Its thin, wiry branches arch and sprawl over an area, making it a good groundcover for erosion control on slopes and banks. It has small blue-green elliptical leaves. In early summer, it has small pink flowers that are followed by red fruit.
Hancock coralberry has been growing at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden for many years. Its sprawling nature makes it a good plant to fill a low-maintenance area. It is useful as long as it is planted in a place where their spreading nature and rambling appearance won't become a problem.
hancock coralberry will spread throughout an area. It may need to be pruned back for control. In addition, cutting the stems to ground level in late winter every few years can rejuvenate its appearance. New branches will quickly regrow from the roots.
