Callicarpa americana, commonly called beautyberry, is a deciduous shrub valued for its spectacular fruits. The relatively insignificant flowers develop into prolific bright violet to magenta berry-like drupes that encircle the stem. These fruits remain attractive for a long time although they are generally gone before severe winter weather. Beautyberry is native to the eastern United States. This shrub thrives in full sun to part shade.
