American Beautyberry
Lamiaceae (Mint family)
Callicarpa americana
Full sun to part shade. Fruit production is best in full sun. Can be pruned/shaped as desired. Grows from 3-6 feet tall, medium to low water requirements. Anything that is vouchered throughout Florida is typically very easy to grow and low maintenance! 1 gallon pots, shipped bare root but wrapped carefully if shipping is selected.
Edible fruits, slightly astringent unless made into a syrup or jam, which is delicious! The leaves contain a chemical (callicarpenal) that repels mosquitoes. Gently crush the leaf and rub the upper surface against the skin to release the chemical.
Great nectar source for butterflies and bees, while its dense clusters of berries provide food for birds and deer in late summer and fall.

E. Carter First time ordering, but pleasantly surprised. Both plants were in good condition and ready to be planted. I'll be ordering again.
