Description:
White American Beautyberry is a stunning native shrub known for its clusters of bright white berries that appear in fall, attracting birds and wildlife. The arching branches and soft green leaves create a graceful, natural form in the landscape. Drought-tolerant once established and deer-resistant, this variety offers a striking alternative to the typical purple-berried beautyberry.

Planting Tips:

• Plant in well-drained soil with morning sun and afternoon shade for best berry production.

• Prune in late winter to encourage bushier growth.

• Water regularly during the first growing season; afterwards, occasional deep watering is sufficient.

• Provides excellent wildlife habitat and seasonal interest.
