Care Information

Planting Advice for Callicarpa 'Profusion' Beautyberry:

Grow Callicarpa in any fertile, well drained garden soil in full sun or partial shade.
Water your potted plant well.
Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
Plants benefit from the addition of mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole and roots.
Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Aftercare for Callicarpa 'Profusion' Beautyberry:

Although callicarpa will tolerate a little lime in the soil, they will suffer from yellowing foliage if there is too much, so you may need to add ericaceous compost if your soil is particularly alkaline.
Keep plants well-watered.

Pruning Advice for 'Profusion' Beautyberry:

Prune back stems in early spring, if necessary, to remove spindly or damaged growth, cutting back to a permanent framework to maintain shape and size.
In autumn stems with berries can be cut for indoor arrangements.
