  • About this plant

    The gojiberry, or wolfberry, is a deciduous shrub famed for its nutrient-rich, bright orange-red berries. Native to Asia but well-suited to UK gardens, it bears small, purple star-shaped flowers in summer, followed by clusters of sweet yet tangy berries in autumn. Valued for their high antioxidant content, gojiberries are easy to grow and offer both ornamental beauty and edible rewards.
