Description

The American Beautyberry is a deciduous shrub native to the southeastern United States. It is known for its vibrant purple berry clusters that encircle the branches and make the plant stand out in a natural or landscaped setting. The shrub has an open form and features opposite leaves that can be 3-6 inches long. It is also recognized for its modest, pale pink flowers that bloom in the summer, giving way to the striking berries that are particularly attractive to birds and wildlife.
