Beautyberry Purple Pearls®, Purple Pearls® Beautyberry, Callicarpa x 'NCCX1' PP26000, Purple Pearls®® Beautyberry
Noted for its long season of interest, Callicarpa Purple Pearls® (Beautyberry) is a small, compact, deciduous shrub of upright habit, adorned with dark purple foliage from spring to frost. In late summer, it bears clusters of small pink flowers along the stems, which are attractive to bees and butterflies. They are abundantly followed by vibrant purple berries in fall, which persist after the leaves have fallen and stand out beautifully. Adding bold color to the landscape, this Beautyberry is easy to grow and perfect for mass planting, hedges, borders, and containers. Great for fall floral arrangements and indoor decorations too.
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall and wide (120-150 cm). The plant 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, 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.
