Space-Saving Vertical Habit

Glamorous it is! Purple-tinged smoky foliage embellished with white flowers prelude clusters of flamboyant violet-purple berries. Berried stems arranged in vases alone or as cut flower accents are exquisite. Callicarpa is named Beautyberry for good reason. Once the foliage of this deciduous shrub has dropped, it will not be passed without comment. A showstopper in late summer to fall. Callicarpa Pearl Glam is more upright than traditional Beautyberry.
