'Early Amethyst' Beautyberry abounds with large quantities of small lilac fruits in the fall. Purple beautyberry is easy to grow and low maintenance, and once established is quite drought tolerant. Planting in mass improves cross-pollination and fruit production. Small mammals and birds eat the fruit, making it a great choice for bird lovers and pollinator gardens.
Growth Habit: Shrub, Upright, Arching,3ft high by 4ft spread
Native Origin: China, Japan, Korea
Hardiness Zone: 5-8
Environment needs: Full Sun, Part Sun
Prefers Fertile, well-drained soil.
Deer Tolerant
Non-Toxic to Humans and Pets
Growth rate: Fast
Maintenance: This plant prefers average, well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. No serious pest or disease problems. Seldom requires fertilizer. Because plants flower on the current season's growth, they can be pruned hard (to as low as 4–6″) in early spring. Plants will be smaller than they would be if left unpruned, but their stems will be lined from head to toe (rather than just at the tips of the branches) with clusters of berries.
