A deciduous shrub, Callicarpa bodinieri var giraldii offers gardens a source of great colour, even after its foliage has departed in autumn and early winter. Aptly known as the Beautyberry, it produces leaves in spring that are dark green but tinged with bronze, that turn a dark green shade in summer and a stunning dark pink in early autumn. These exciting colours are matched by its fruit in autumn, when dense clusters of tiny purple or pink berries emerge. Without doubt a major eye-catcher, it loves fertile, well-drained soil and while hardy, appreciates shelter from winter winds. It is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, beds and borders.
