This Florida Native shrub blooms and fruits on and off throughout the year, which attracts local bird and butterfly populations. The berries are edible and have a sweet, astringent taste with a seed in the center. Marlberry will tolerate short periods of flooding and moist soil once established. Plant in the ground using a Success Kit and fertilize in spring and fall with Espoma Plant-tone.
