Callicarpa americana

American Beautyberry

American Beautyberry is an excellent section for shady spots in your landscape. It will thrive even in a dense shade and will provide you clusters upon clusters of handsome berries during the fall. We love deigning this native beauty as an understory planting where it will add much needed color. American Beautyberry is also a great wildlife habitat and food provider. Birds just love feasting on all those attractive berries!
