CALLICARPA DICHOTOMA
Grower Notes:

The Callicarpa dichotoma is commonly referred to as the Purple Beautyberry or simply Beautyberry. It has slender, arching branches that dip downward. Small, pinkish-lavender flowers bloom along the stems in summer and are followed by clusters of shiny, lilac-violet fruits which ripen in September. It is a small, compact, deciduous shrub that only grows to about 4 feet tall and wide.

The Beautyberry is easy to grow and maintain. It enjoys full to part sun in average, well-drained soils. Best fruiting occurs in full sun. Pruning may be performed in late winter to early spring to encourage compact growth and fruiting.

CALLICARPA VARIETIES

Callicarpa Varieties:
Callicarpa bodinier (Profusion Beautyberry)
Bodinier's Beautyberry is from China and is an upright deciduous shrub with greater cold tolerance than the Callicarpa americana (Zones 5-8) and features pale pink flower clusters from June to August on new growth. Vibrant, deep purple berries appear after, along the entire length of its arching stems, and ripen in fall. Leaves mature to light yellow and fall before the berries. Berries persist until early winter and are a great source of food for many bird species. It is larger than the Callicarpa dichotoma and reaches 6-7 feet tall and wide. It is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator.
