American Beautyberry is a native deciduous shrub with arching branches that makes a great addition to a shrub border or wildlife garden. It adds stunning color to the autumn garden when its leaves turn chartreuse and clusters of bright purple fruit form along its stems.

Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids for healthy pollinators and planet, American Beautyberry for sun/part shade:

• Helps birds, butterflies, and other important pollinators and wildlife
• Blooms late spring to late summer
• Never needs chemicals and requires less water once established

American Beautyberry has the potential to support up to:

• 4 butterfly species, including Spring Azure butterflies and Snowberry clearwing moths
• 96% of backyard birds that rely on these insects to feed their young
• Dozens of other pollinator species foraging for nectar

- Experience growing native, local ecotype plant species.

- The ability to grow and sort mass plugs/starter plants.

- The capacity to safely pack and ship plants to their new homes.
