notes

Although an attractive deciduous shrub with green foliage and small pink flowers in summer, it is in autumn that Callicarpa Magical Purple really shines. The stems are bare of leaves, but the boughs are laden with purple bead-like berries into winter. These striking branches are wonderful in a floral arrangement, where the vivid colour can be enjoyed up close. 

Insights

The foliage begins as bronze-purple, before turning dark green in summer and then finally turning golden purple in autumn before falling.
