Callicarpa japonica | Also known as: Beauty berry | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
If you’re looking for something that will really stand out in your garden design and provide magnificent late colouring, callicarpa japonica or Japanese beautyberry is a glorious choice. This gorgeous ornamental shrub is exquisitely elegant, with arching branches, rich green ovate and toothed leaves that turn yellow in autumn, as well as clusters of small pink or white flowers that give way to the prime feature of this shrub – divinely delightful clusters of glossy, purple berries that can remain on the branches for a while after the leaves have fallen. Purple beautyberry likes relatively fertile and well-drained soils in partially shaded or sunny positions and will bowl garden visitors over if grown en masse within borders, on banks or as a hedging plant.
