American beauty-berry
Callicarpa americana
American beautyberry is a stunning native shrub prized for its vivid clusters of magenta-purple berries in autumn, which are highly attractive to birds and wildlife. It grows well in partial shade with average watering, tolerating a range of soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Prune heavily in late winter to maintain a compact shape and encourage vigorous fruiting growth each season.
