Zone: 5PURPLE BEAUTYBERRY
The Callicarpa dichotoma is commonly referred to as the Purple Beautyberry or simply Beautyberry. It has slender, arching branches that dip downward. Small, pinkish-lavender flowers bloom along the stems in summer and are followed by clusters of shiny, lilac-violet fruits which ripen in September. It is a small, compact, deciduous shrub that only grows to about 4 feet tall and wide.
The Beautyberry is easy to grow and maintain. It enjoys full to part sun in average, well-drained soils. Best fruiting occurs in full sun. Pruning may be performed in late winter to early spring to encourage compact growth and fruiting.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, as sufficient light exposure is essential for maximizing the vibrant berry display later in the season. These shrubs are adaptable to a range of soil types but require consistent moisture during the first year of establishment to ensure long-term vigor. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, as flowers and fruit are produced on new wood, allowing you to control the plant size and stimulate strong, fruit-bearing stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, keeping it away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
