Beautyberry 'Early Amethyst'
The Callicarpa, or Beautyberry as most of us know it, is a perennial shrub that offers beautiful violet-purple berries from early fall into winter. The C. Dichotoma is a Korean species of Beautyberry, though smaller in stature, still as beautiful, with fruits appearing earlier than other varieties, hence the name.
