We are starting to create individual Texas native plants profiles and today we will put the spotlight on American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana).
From the entry:
“American Beautybery 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!”
What do you think about American Beautyberry? Do you grow it yourself? Pictures or insights to share?
