Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii Profusion 'Beauty Berry'
This is one of those shrubs that you either love or hate - there is no middle ground!
The purple berries glow in the winter sun and look most spectacular once all the leaves have fallen. Will grow in a reasonable sized container but may need a little pruning in the spring to keep it in shape.
'The beauty of this shrub is seen in Autumn. The leaves turn rose,violet or red and when they fall off the polished berries are revealed on bare stems.The clusters of berries in lilac ,violet or bright purple will persist well into December. Planted in groups these shrubs make a stunning display. Branches may also be cut for winter flower arranging. Plant in sun or light shade, in a protected spot.'
