Varronia globosa
Bloodberry aka Butterfly Sage is a native, perennial, evergreen shrub. With clusters of small white blooms followed by bright red berries, it attracts many butterflies, bees and birds. As a smaller shrub, usually not taller than 6 feet, it blends beautifully into a pollinator garden. Bloodberry is salt-tolerant but not for direct salt spray and drought-tolerant.
