Pearl Glam Beautyberry is a small upright deciduous shrub valued for its showy fruits. The deep blue-green foliage has a dark purple hue all season until frost. Clusters of tiny white flowers bloom in late summer attracting bees and butterflies, then give way to bursts of bright violet fruits that persist to the beginning of winter. Best shape in full sun, but some shade promotes drought tolerance.
