    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is a stunning rarely seen Beautyberry from China. Featured as the 11-18-01 Plant Portrait at England's Garden Plant Conservation. The foliage emerges a beautiful bronze color in spring then turns bright green. Small lavender flowers appear on new growth in mid-summer which lead the way to shimmering clusters of drupes (berry-like fruit) which are intensely purple in early fall. The berries persist after leaf drop. Full sun promotes maximum berry production. Prune in early spring if necessary. Monthly or time-release fertilizer makes a big difference in fruit production.
