A Character-Filled Shrub
Want to add a bit of character to your landscape? Look no further than Bubble Up® beautyberry (Callicarpa x)! This whimsical shrub brings unique charm to the garden with interest that lasts through fall.
Bubble Up beautyberry starts its show with clusters of pale-pink flowers. By late summer, those flowers give way to purple berries, no cross-pollination needed. In fall, the green foliage turns shades of orange for a striking visual contrast.
Maturing to a height of 4–6′ and a width of 2–3′, this taller-than-wide selection works wonderfully in groupings, as a colorful screen, or as a signature specimen planting.
Bubble Up beautyberry is hardy in USDA Zones 5–9 and thrives in full sun and any well-draining soil. It also offers excellent heat tolerance, making it a particularly appealing choice for gardeners in warmer climates who want vibrant berries late in the season. It is a deer-resistant variety as well.
