American Beautyberry – Callicarpa americana 800 Seeds | Showy Native Purple Berry Shrub Restoration & Wildlife Bulk Pack | Fast Growing | Brilliant Fall Display

Establish a large-scale native planting with these 800 American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) seeds. This fast-growing deciduous shrub is renowned for its vivid metallic purple berry clusters that wrap tightly around the stems in fall and persist well into winter.

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

An exceptional wildlife shrub, American Beautyberry provides essential late-season and winter food for birds including robins, mockingbirds, bobwhite quail, towhees, and brown thrashers. Mammals such as raccoons, foxes, deer, armadillos, and opossums also rely on the fruit when other food sources are scarce.

Relatively pest-free and easy to grow, this shrub is ideal for habitat restoration, conservation projects, woodland gardens, mass plantings, property borders, and pollinator landscapes. Plant multiple shrubs together for best berry production.

This 800-seed bulk pack is perfect for rewilding projects, native plant programs, and large landscape installations.
