American beautyberry<\/strong> is a deciduous shrub that grows 3 -5\u2019 tall and wide. It can grow to
9\u2019. The plant naturally has a graceful, arching form. Beautyberry is at its best in the fall
when clusters of glossy, iridescent-purple fruit ring the branches at leaf axils. Heavy
clumps of berries are especially showy after leaves have fallen in winter. American
beautyberry is a wonderful understory shrub, but it does not like to be hedged. Some
plants have white berries; however, the purple-berried plants tend to perform better.
Planting Sites: Well-drained, moist sandy, loam, or clay soils in part or dappled sun. It needs space for its long, arching
branches.<\/p>

Watering Instructions:<\/strong> Water well after planting, using a root stimulator mixed according to directions.
