Callicarpa bodinieri Details

Callicarpa bodinieri, commonly known as Beautyberry, is a plant that brings amazing colour to the garden. It is a rounded, deciduous shrub that typically grows to 3 m tall and 2.5 m wide with upright, slender branches. Clusters of small, lilac flowers are borne along the stems in summer which result in bright and glossy, purple berries in autumn that are great for attracting birds. The foliage is lush and bright green but develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. Plants grow best on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade, though best flowering and fruiting occurs in full sun. It is tolerant of frost, cold climates, and dry periods. Callicarpa bodinieri is commonly used for attracting birds, added to mixed plantings, included in cottage gardens, or planted for its unique beauty.
