Goji Berry
Lycium barbarum
Goji Berry is a suckering shrub that produces small purple flowers that turn into fleshy, orange-red berries that are sweet and have a mild licorice flavour. They can be dried or eaten fresh and are usually sweeter the longer you leave them on the bush.
Goji berries grow best in full sun to light shade and aren't particularly fussy about the soil they are growing in, as long as it is well-drained. The plant can get weedy quite easily; regular pruning is recommended.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.

If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
