5 Live Plant Goji Berry Lycium barbarum Starter Plug

Goji berry is a hardy perennial shrub grown for its bright red, mildly sweet-tart fruit and its graceful, arching habit. Offered here as a starter plug, it establishes quickly and is a rewarding choice for home gardens, edible landscapes, and container growing. The plant produces slender leaves and small purple trumpet-shaped flowers through the season, followed by elongated red berries that ripen in late summer to early fall.
In the garden, goji berry works well as a fruiting hedge, border shrub, or patio container specimen, and its berries are commonly enjoyed fresh, dried, or cooked into sauces, teas, and baked goods. Plants are self-fertile but typically yield more heavily when two or more are grown together. Regular pruning encourages stronger branching and easier harvest, and the plant tolerates a range of conditions once established.
