Profusion Beautyberry

The Profusion Beautyberry is a unique and amazing shrub that comes to life in your garden in September, when its leaves drop and reveal an amazing crop of neon-purple berries. That’s right, a color unique among all the berry plants we have. This deciduous shrub grows to 6 or 8 feet tall and wide, carrying berries even when very young, and even when grown alone. The small violet flowers that open in early summer are partly hidden among the leaves, but the berries are amazing, in big clusters all along the gray branches. Grow it among your other shrubs, or in a woodland garden.

• Heavy crop of amazing neon-purple berries in fall
• Small lilac flowers in early summer
• Abundant berries even with just one plant, and even when young
• Berries hold through most of the winter
• Relatively easy to grow, and almost no maintenance needed

Full sun will give you the biggest berry crop from the Profusion Beautyberry, but it will take a little shade too. It grows well in most well-drained soils, as long as they are not highly alkaline. It thrives in ordinary garden conditions, needing no special care. Pests and diseases are generally not a problem, and deer leave it alone. Birds don’t take the berries until late winter, giving you months of color and beauty.
