American Beautyberry – Callicarpa americana 100 Seeds | Showy Native Berry Shrub Bulk Wildlife Pack | Fast Growing | Brilliant Purple Fall Fruit

Plant a vibrant native shrub that delivers multi-season beauty with these 100 American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) seeds. Known for its stunning metallic purple berry clusters, this fast-growing deciduous shrub adds dramatic color to fall and winter landscapes.

Beautyberry typically grows 3–6 feet tall and wide with an open, arching form. In summer, delicate pink to lavender flowers bloom along the stems. By autumn, tight clusters of glossy magenta-violet berries encircle the branches, often persisting long after leaves have dropped.

An exceptional wildlife plant, Beautyberry provides valuable late-season food for birds such as robins, mockingbirds, bobwhite quail, towhees, and brown thrashers. Mammals including raccoons, foxes, deer, and opossums also rely on the fruit during lean months.

Easy to grow and relatively pest-free, this native shrub is ideal for woodland gardens, habitat restoration, naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes. Plant several together for heavier berry production.
