Hardy shrub to 4′. Beautyberry. China. Grown for its distinctive, glossy, lilac-violet berries. These glorious fruits appear in abundant bunches in fall and persist on naked stems long after the leaves drop. Fabulous in arrangements, if you can bear to cut them. Fruit is preceded by small, discreet, pink to lavender flowers that bloom in the leaf axils along the stems in summer. Sun to partial shade. PC- 4 weeks, 3 & T1
