Callicarpa japonica 'Heavy Berry'

The beautyberry (Callicarpa japonica 'Heavy Berry') is an amazing plant for many reasons. It grows in a variety of climates and soils, and its hardy nature makes it a great addition to any garden. The shrub reaches a medium size, making it ideal for small spaces, but offers stunning lavender-to-white blooms that can add beauty and fragrance to your garden. Its crowning jewel, however, is its abundant crop of purple berries in the fall. Fruits provide an unexpected burst of color in the garden. They also attract wildlife, including birds and butterflies, to your outdoor spaces. Best of all, beautyberry is generally low-maintenance and disease-resistant, making it an easy choice for busy homeowners.
