Description
A three-season foliage and flower color factory, Pearl Glam Beautyberry, a Callicarpa hybrid, starts off the warm season with dark purple foliage in spring that holds it’s color all season long. White flowers in summer are then followed by abundant clusters of bright, violet-purple berries up and down the branches in fall that persist into winter. The berry-laden branches are excellent for cutting to add to fall floral displays. Birds relish the berries and the plant itself is great for housing and feeding birds. Its upright growth habit allows Purple Pearls to fit in garden spaces conventional beautyberry varieties won’t fit.
The USDA says beautyberry has insecticidal properties that repel mosquitoes, ants, ticks and other pesky critters. We’ve tried it with success. So you can plant this beauty of a shrub near outdoor living spaces to help keep the bugs away and also to make your own insect repellent!

Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing with a more upright habit 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, the Pearl Glam Beautyberry is ideal for use in the garden as a specimen, in groupings, or as a very colorful natural hedge. An absolute must for bird gardens and a fine addition to purple theme gardens, wildlife habitats, flowering shrub borders and cottage gardens.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 3 feet apart for solid hedge; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Beautyberry variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
The Pearl Glam Beautyberry is exceptionally easy to grow and care for with no serious insect or disease problems. Deer and other critters don’t like it either. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution, thriving well even in inner city environments.Â
Choose a sunny to partially shaded site for planting. Foliage color is more intense with more sun. In warmer climates (Zones 7-8), some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons is appreciated. Purple pearls is not particular as to soil type or pH. It prefers average to moist conditions however will tolerate periods of dry weather when established.
Maintenance is little to none. No pruning is required however some gardeners cut it back to the ground in late winter or early spring to control size. Because it blooms on new wood (the current seasons growth), a one-time late winter or early spring pruning doesn’t effect flowering or berry production.
