  Thanks! I remember seeing these as a kid, so I was excited to see some again! I think they have a more southern distribution. Posted 6 years ago

I remember seeing this for the first time in PA and being literally swept away with the beauty of it - appropriate common name! Posted 6 years ago

The American Beautyberry

''Callicarpa americana'' is an open-habit, native shrub of the Southern United States which is often grown as an ornamental in gardens and yards. American beautyberries produce large clusters of purple berries, which birds and deer eat, thus distributing the seeds.
