Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku'

Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku' (Christmas Berry, Australian holly, Coralberry, Coral bush, Spiceberry) is a stunning selection of Ardisia crenata with evergreen, deep burgundy leaves with fluorescent pink marbling (most visible on newer leaves).  If the leaf coloration wasn't enough by itself, Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku' also produces masses of showy red berries that persist year round!  Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku' is best grown in shade and is great in mass plantings or as a specimen planted in a location that its phenomenal foliage can be appreciated.  Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku' is also great grown in a container (move to a protected area during the winter).  Ardisia crenata 'Beni Kajaku' is above ground hardy into the teens Fahrenheit.  In warm coastal areas, Ardisia crenata can reseed and probably is best grown as a container plant.
