American Beautyberry – Callicarpa americana 400 Seeds | Showy Native Purple Berry Shrub Large Wildlife Habitat Pack | Fast Growing | Brilliant Fall Color

Establish a vibrant native planting or wildlife corridor with these 400 American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) seeds. This fast-growing deciduous shrub is celebrated for its spectacular metallic purple berry clusters that encircle the stems in fall and persist well into winter.

Beautyberry forms a graceful, multi-stemmed shrub typically 3–6 feet tall and wide with an open, arching habit. In summer, small pink to lavender flowers bloom along the stems. By autumn, tight clusters of glossy magenta-violet drupes develop, creating one of the most striking displays in the native landscape.

The long-lasting fruit provides critical late-season food for birds including robins, mockingbirds, bobwhite quail, towhees, and brown thrashers. Mammals such as raccoons, foxes, deer, and opossums also rely on the berries when other food sources are scarce.

Relatively pest-free and easy to grow, American Beautyberry is ideal for woodland gardens, mass plantings, habitat restoration, pollinator gardens, and naturalized landscapes. Plant several shrubs together for heavier fruit production.

This 400-seed bulk pack is perfect for conservation plantings, property borders, and larger landscape projects.
