Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii 'Profusion'
beauty berry
This lovely deciduous shrub has clusters of small pink flowers in midsummer, but it's really prized for the clusters of striking, violet, bead-like berries that often appear on more mature plants in autumn - usually remaining long after the plant has lost its leaves.
The young foliage is often bronze-purple, becoming dark green in summer before turning golden-purple in autumn. Use Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii 'Profusion' to brighten up a border in autumn, or cut the bare branches laden with berries for flower arrangements.
This shrub is best planted in groups for the most striking display of its vibrant purple berries in autumn.

How to care for Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii Profusion:
When planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter to improve soil structure and moisture retention. Water regularly during the first year to help it establish.
While generally low maintenance, prune back stems in early spring if needed, cutting to strong, healthy growth to encourage fresh shoots and maintain a neat shape.
Mulching in spring will help retain moisture and support healthy growth.
