3 Callicarpa Profusion Beauty Berry Shrubs - 9cm Pots

Sometimes it's hard for a plant to live up to its name, but Beauty Berry doesn't fail.

The desirable shrub is grown for its long-lasting display of metallic pink berries that cling in dense clusters to bare branches between autumn and late winter. 

Excellent grown alongside other shrubs in a sunny or slightly shaded position, this bushy deciduous plant grows to around 3m, but can be kept more compact by pruning.

In spring its young foliage is tinged a lovely shade of bronze before turning dark green, while summer interest is provided by a mass of pink flowers. A must have!
