notes
Although an attractive deciduous shrub with green foliage and small pink flowers in summer, it is in autumn that Callicarpa Magical Purple really shines. The stems are bare of leaves, but the boughs are laden with purple bead-like berries into winter. These striking branches are wonderful in a floral arrangement, where the vivid colour can be enjoyed up close.
Dimensions
- 3L
- Height and Spread: up to 200cm (6ft 6in) x W: 200cm (6ft 6in)
