American Beautyberry Plant:

The American Beautyberry, scientifically known as Callicarpa americana, is a stunning and versatile shrub that can be valuable to any garden or landscape. One of the standout features of the American Beautyberry is its attractive purple fruit, which typically appears in the autumn months. This plant can reach a height of 3 to 5 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for border plantings or as an understory plant in woodland areas. During the fall season, the American Beautyberry puts out clusters of vibrant purple berries that add a pop of color to the landscape. These berries are not only beautiful to look at, but they also have practical uses.

Dormancy notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow. Photos are for reference only and are of mature trees.
