Description
Callicarpa ‘Profusion’ – #5 Pot
Callicarpa ‘Profusion’, commonly known as Beautyberry, is a deciduous shrub best known for its striking clusters of vibrant purple berries that appear in fall. The berries stand out beautifully against the shrub’s green foliage, making ‘Profusion’ an excellent choice for adding late-season colour and visual interest to the garden. The foliage also develops warm yellow tones in fall before dropping for winter.
This easy-care shrub works well in mixed borders, shrub beds and naturalized plantings. Its arching growth habit gives it a graceful appearance, while the colourful berries provide an especially attractive display when many other plants are winding down for the season.
