Callicarpa americana var. lactea
This Beautyberry is similar to its well-known purple-berried cousin, but the drupes are pure white, and it prefers a shadier location. Easy to grow and requires little maintenance.
in 3″ re-used plastic pot
An understory shrub, its native range includes Arkansas and the southeast U.S. Although its native habitat is moist woods and swampy edges, it will tolerate drier conditions. I only water mine when we go through periods of drought.
The seeds and berries provide food for multiple species of birds, and the tiny flowers are a nectar source for many pollinators, including butterflies. Cut it back to 12” above the base each winter for more compact growth, flowers and fruits. Or let it grow naturally for a tall, open, woody shrub. Shade, medium soil moisture, 4-8’ height.
