Beautyberries are most ornamental, winter hardy, tropical looking, woody, deciduous shrubs with numerous small axillary born, fragrant, rose flowers followed by beautiful, intense lilac berries in late summer to late autumn. They originate in mountain woods in Eastern Asia and North America and are easily grown in any humus-rich well drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Sow flat in any rather humus-rich, well drained soil. Keep pots in a sheltered and sunny spot outside in winter. Transplant young plants in spring before the leaves emerge or in autumn after the leaves have withered. All are USDA Climate Zone 6. 20 seeds per package. |
