Callicarpa Bodinieri / Beautyberry

No one ever notices this plant until the berries appear in fall. Then, for months, people can’t take their eyes off it. Shown here is Callicarpa Bodinieri ‘Profusion’.

Details

• Although I’ve seen size predictions of 6-8′ tall and wide, this one is still more like 4×4 after seven years in one place.

Care

• I water only during extended droughts.
• I prune errant branches some time in winter.
• It gets fresh organic mulch every spring.
