Callicarpa (Beautyberry)
Color Name: Pearl Glam®
Bold color from summer to autumn. Pearl Glam Callicarpa presents a whole new look for the genus! Pearl Glam boasts dark purple foliage, white flowers, and bright purple-pink berries. Vigorous, upright plant offers a space-saving vertical habit and a unique look in the landscape. Ideal for cut flowers. Fast growing and beautiful!
Growing Tips: In colder areas, callicarpa may die back to the ground, but will resprout. Avoid cutting back until signs of new growth appear. Makes an excellent cut flower for fall harvest, though it does not dry or preserve well. Birds may eat the berries once they've softened, but they are not typically a first-choice food. No pollinator is required, though fruit set is typically heavier if planted en masse.
Soil: Callicarpa is not fussy about soil and will grow in average conditions.
Pruning: Prune in spring if necessary or desired. May experience dieback in colder zones; remove dead wood and plant will resprout from base.
Uses: Mixed borders; perennial beds; foundation plantings; cutting gardens
