American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana)

Beautyberry is a stunning, deciduous shrub best known for its vibrant clusters of purple berries that bring a splash of color to the garden in late summer and fall. Native to the southeastern United States, this shrub also produces small, pinkish-lavender flowers in early summer that attract pollinators, followed by its showy fruit clusters. Beautyberry is valued not only for its ornamental appeal but also for its benefits to wildlife: birds and small mammals enjoy its berries, and the foliage can be used as a natural insect repellent. Adaptable and low-maintenance, Beautyberry is a wonderful choice for woodland gardens, hedgerows, and naturalized landscapes.

Key Characteristics

  • Striking Purple Berries
    Beautyberry's signature purple berries appear in dense clusters along the branches in late summer and fall, adding a brilliant pop of color to the garden and providing food for birds as the season progresses.

  • Pollinator-Friendly Flowers
    In early summer, Beautyberry produces delicate, lavender-pink flowers that attract pollinators, adding beauty and ecological benefit to the landscape.

  • Natural Mosquito Repellent
    The leaves of Beautyberry contain compounds that can be used as a natural insect repellent. Historically, crushed leaves have been rubbed on the skin to help repel mosquitoes.

  • Supports Wildlife
    Beautyberry's berries are a valuable food source for birds and small mammals, providing sustenance through fall and into winter. Its dense branches also offer shelter for wildlife.
