To begin with, I need to give this shrub its proper name. I have called it beauty bush, but Wild Flowers of North Carolina correctly calls it beauy berry, or Callicarpa americana Linnaeus.
It has small insignificant blossoms early in the year, followed by the beautiful berries for which it is named.
It is a passalong plant, not often seen in plant stores. The good thing about it is that the colorful berries remain around for most of the winter.
