Beautyberry is an easy to grow, rounded shrub. It is a wonderful addition to bird gardens and one of my favorite shrubs for landscaping. I first saw beautyberry about 15 years ago at the North Carolina zoo in Asheboro. It immediately caught my eye. The clusters of purple berries are beautiful and very unique. The flowers are loved by butterflies and birds eat the berries.
