Callicarpa
Also called Beauty Berry, Beautyberries
Beautyberry (Callicarpa) is a genus of shrubs and small trees grown mainly for their clusters of metallic pink to purple berries that persist into winter. Temperate species are deciduous and tropical species evergreen, so care varies by species.
Callicarpa, commonly known as beautyberry, is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the family Lamiaceae. They are native to east and southeast Asia (where the majority of the species occur), Australia, Madagascar, south-eastern North America and South America.
The leaves are simple, opposite, usually 5-25 cm long. Its flowers are small, white to pink or light purple in color. They produce small clusters of purple drupes along their branches.
