?Pearls? (of wisdom?!) for the fall border and the flower arranger arrive with this 3-4' shrub in fall; ?few fruiting shrubs can out-compete the Beauty-berries? (Dirr) and this handsome white-fruiting form proves it again! S-PSh/M

One of falls best shows. Large white berries like pearls cover every stem. A favorite food source for birds.

This graceful, Chinese version of the much-loved beautyberry, is a stunning white-berried form, growing only to 4-5' tall with delicate, 2" leaves and the lightest lavender flowers in midsummer, not very prominent but producing truly white berries in autumn to early winter, a standout in the garden especially against darker foliage. In dry summer places, occasional water can push fruit to ripen ensuring an fabulous display. Best in sun to light or dappled shade, but tolerant of widely ranging conditions. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
