    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Compact Japanese Beautyberry. 2-4' tall shrubs may go unnoticed in spring and early summer, but become stars in September and October with lilac-violet berries are arranged in clusters on arching stems. Yellow fall foliage offers great contrast to the fruit. Grow 3-5' wide and likes well drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Plant several for good berry set. Shipping bulky 1 gallon plants and we have some larger specimens available for nursery pickup.

    The most graceful and refined of the species w/ its leaves in one plane rather than in whorls. The long slender branches arch to touch the ground at their tips. Avoid excess fertilizer; use low nitrogen to avoid legginess. Will die back in zone 5 but return in spring.
