Beautyberry 'Profusion', Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion'
One of the best ornamental fruiting shrubs, Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii ‘Profusion’ (Beautyberry) is a medium-sized deciduous shrub, primarily grown for its eye-catching display of purple berries dotting every arching branch like beads on a string. ‘Profusion’ bears clusters of small, lilac flowers along the stems in summer. Attractive to bees and butterflies, they are abundantly followed by compact clusters of bright, glossy, violet-purple fruits in early fall, which persist after the leaves have fallen and stand out beautifully until early winter. Adding rich color to the landscape, they make a lovely contrast with the foliage of lanceolate, purplish leaves when young that turns rosy-pink in fall. A spectacular sight in fall and early winter.
