Callicarpa Pearl Glam® (Beautyberry)

Noted for its long season of interest, Callicarpa Pearl Glam® (Beautyberry) is a small, compact, deciduous shrub of upright habit adorned with dark purple foliage from spring to frost. It bears small white flowers along the stems in late summer, attractive to bees and butterflies. They are abundantly followed by clusters of luminous violet-purple berries in fall, which persist after the leaves have fallen and stand out beautifully. Adding a bold color to the landscape, this Beautyberry is easy to grow and perfect for mass planting, hedges, borders, and containers.

• Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm). Plants may experience some dieback each year in colder zones, but it will resprout from the ground and still flower and fruit that year.
• A full sun lover, this plant is best grown in average, medium, and well-drained soils. Fairly adaptable to different soil types, but fertile soil with good drainage is preferred.
• Easy to grow and low maintenance, this plant is affected by very few pests and diseases. It is also rarely bothered by deer.
• Mass in mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings. Perfect also as a specimen plant or deciduous hedge or screen.
• Prune, if desired, in early spring, and remove any dead wood at that point as well.
