This excellent beautyberry has attractive purple foliage all summer, white flowers in spring, and hundreds of large, violet berries in fall. It's deer resistant and grows 4-5' tall and wide in sun to part shade. It's hardy to Zone 5 and crown hardy to Zone 4. After an especially severe winter, if the plant above ground has died back, simply prune the plant to the ground and it will explode into a full sized plant that same year.
