Issai Beautyberry
Issai Beautyberry, Callicarpa dichotoma 'Issai', is a beautyberry bush that displays outstanding rounded, compact growth habit and early fruiting age. Delicate pink flowers in spring give way to beautiful lavender-purple berries in late summer, so it is one of the best ornamental fruiting shrubs. Issai is a small, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically grows 2 to 4 feet tall and is primarily included in the landscape for its showy fall display of lilac-violet fruit. This beautyberry bush is to be grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It is crown hardy in zone 4 and prune in early spring if needed. Flowers bloom on new wood and there it shows no serious disease or insect problems. ... find out more
Holly - Red Sprite Red Sprite Winterberry, Ilex verticillata 'Red Sprite', is a dense compact plant that produces multitudes of bright red, one half inch fruits that persist throughout the winter. Winterberries are the "queens" of the fruiting shrub world when ranked for ornamental value. The fruiting branches are great for decoration in the garden or in the house. The leaves drop off the plant in late fall to expose the beautiful berries. You'll need both male and female plants to produce fruits and Red Sprite requires Ilex 'Jim Dandy' for pollination and berry production. |
