Yup, I planted one in a pot on my terrace in NYC -- must not have paid attention to the "mature size" information! Then I was visiting a public garden and saw that it would grow to be the size of a small tree. I kept it anyway and whack it practically to the ground every year. A tough plant but the berries are such an unusual and beautiful color.
I find these all the time in the wild just cant find enough of them to do anything with them. Missouri
So love beauty berry I have several the birds planted it’s stunning in fall here on gulf coast!! Judy in pensacola.. fyi makes great lil stem in a mix flower container!!
Jim, the Callicarpas aren't hardy in my zone, however, I just ordered a Proud Berry® Coral Berry, which has pink berries. It is a Symphoricarpos and is hardy in zones 3-7. The plant only grows 3-4 ft tall, so it will be the perfect size for my small lot.
I have the perfect full-sun spot for mine and can't wait for it to arrive. I'm looking forward to seeing your Welch's Pink after one season in the ground. Have a great weekend. ~Margie
Thanks again for sharing. Would love to see this plant as it fills in that area.
Thanks Jim. I really look forward to your videos. So informative.
I love Beautyberries 💕 so pretty in the garden 💕
I have a purple one someone gifted me last Christmas. It has been amazing. I keep cutting branches for arrangements because it is getting so heavy I am afraid it is going to split the plant. I want a white one too.
Thanks, Jim!!
Thanks, Jim. I will be on the lookout for Welch's Pink. I have several native purple ones on my property and I love them. A couple grow near my little pond out back. I have limbed them up to small trees and planted a variety of ferns, Solomon's Seal and Toad Lilies along with daffodils and Lycoris Radiata. It's a fun area. It will be nice to add a pink one.
Good to know they can be limbed up. Mine is very bushy this year and I wondered what I could do for next year.
I'm in Maryland and last year I was excited to see the birds enjoying the berries.
@@hd1ab1 There are always some suckers to prune back, but!that is easily done.
And once again I’ve added another plant to my wish list….
I have one and they are great! Beauty berries are awesome. I have them in some of my shady areas and they still perform. Great bush!
I planted a purple one this Spring, about the size of that one and it is a 4 foot bush now. I wasn't sure where I wanted it so planted it in a good sized pot to move around the yard to decide. It loved the original spot so much that that is where I am going to plant it this week. Wish me luck because I suspect I will have to now dig a huge hoe to handle this fast growing bush! By the way, I love the pink and may have to be on the lookout for that one!
I heard there is also a blue one.. 🤷
I kept mine in a pot until I could plant it... I think it's in the perfect spot, and the birds have been eating on the berries as winter goes on, I'm about to chop it about six inches away from the ground and hang the branches up for the birdies to enjoy.
Cheers!
It will be exciting to see how it grows! (My back patio also look a like a nursery! Grateful for this rain and now cooler temps, ready to get stuff planted. However, bringing all 70+ houseplants inside tonight is not how I wanted to spend my evening!)
Our woods are full of beauty berries, great for the deer.
Coral berries great for winter over fences or bricks.
Hermosa y por lo que entiendo de fácil cuidado😀👍🏽
We found a Beauty Berry in the woods at our house in SC. While trying to save it from vines taking it over a branch broke. I took the purple berries and put in a pot of soil. Do you think a seedling will grow?🤔 I'm tempted now to dig up that bush and transplant in my yard😊
We grow calicarpa dihtoloma I believe in Toronto area, Canada zone 5 successfully. The plant is more then 6 years old
Lovely plants Beautyberry, seems like the birds here aren’t interested in the berries since they stay on bush all though winter and fall off in spring. Not a bad thing, gives a touch of colour over the winter.
Gorgeous! I’d love a white fruiting Callicarpa like Buddy Lee. I have a Pearl Glam.
Love this plant.
My purple one dies to the roots in a severe winter, but it always comes back. I live in Zone 6B.
The purple variety grows in the woods on my property in the Houston area. I thought they were weeds!
Yay beautyberry
My native dies to the ground every year in 6b in Kentucky.
Nice.
I love it. Now where to find one! Zone 6 b. Western NY. Id like to give it a try
I’m always jealous of peoples berries! Mine all get eaten by birds and animals. The plant reminds me of Texas. One of the prettiest berries out there!
Dang it Jim, you gotta quit showing me plants I want so bad! I figure less than a grand worth at this point 😂
Jim, I have watched your videos for sometime and I understand how you build your soil. I also notice when you plant new you do not add a starter fertilizer such as Bio-Tone in the hole. Your thoughts necessary or not. Thanks!
Afternoon sun? If not how much sun in either evening/morning in 7a (black mountain, Nc)? Thanks Jim!
Beautiful~ I need a few. Can the be planted under tall trees or is this a full sun lover?
When I lived in Miami, FL, I had mine under a VA live oak. Southwest exposure but some shade from a 5ft hedge. Don't know if that helps but in a lot of places they are understory plants.
funny - this is a wild weed where i live!
I like these and for some weird reason the colors and look of the berries remind me of redbud.
Where can we find this plant?
havent seen one of them before... The berries look great. Im curious tho... those berries scare me a bit - does it prolifically re-seed itself to the point where it becomes a weed?
Yes!! I grew one and it dropped hundreds of berries. I had to get rid of the bush. It wasn’t long before all of the seedlings became invasive.
@@nesleind thanks :)
Hi
Could you please send me a link to buy some seeds. I live in England and I can’t buy the American Beauty Berry anywhere.
Hope you can help

How much shade will this callicarpa take?
Pretty much anything. A little thinner in the shade
@@JimPutnam thank you!
These have "bouncy" stems and little birds like to bounce on mine.
Would this be ok as a foundation plant?
If you had high windows or a bare wall somewhere, it would be. Might want some other evergreen things planted with it.
@@JimPutnam Thank you! Love your videos they've helped me a lot.
We have a big open space where I think this would be beautiful. I'll keep doing some research.
The White Tailed Deer made ours disappear!
Good to have this question answered! I was going to go buy one, but not now. I just had to move 2 little limes because the deer have enjoyed them so much. 😏
Buddy, I planted a Spider’s Web Fatsia after seeing yours and it wilted down after two days of heavy south Louisiana rain. Put it in a pot in the shade to try to save it. I’m assuming it was the rain. You think?
That’s how I killed my first one. I live in 8a, and I currently have one in shade, and made sure I got well draining soil and it’s doing great!
We called it french toilet paper!
make a berm
