Landscape Notes: Glamour for the landscape! Don't settle for a beautyberry that only struts its stuff in autumn - demand one that does more. Pearl Glam callicarpa is showy starting in spring, with dark purple foliage from the get-go. Late summer brings white flowers that yield violet-purple berries by the hundreds. Upright habit makes this a space-saver compared to more conventional beautyberry varieties, too. Top reasons to grow Pearl Glam beautyberry:

Exposure/Culture: Pearl Glam beautyberry does not need a pollinator to set fruit; one plant is sufficient for a good crop. Prune, if desired, in early spring, and remove any dead wood at that point as well.

Other Notes: Callicarpa is believed to repel mosquitoes, and the North American species, C. americana, has been used this way through the South throughout history. Deer resistant.
