Notes
'Duet' beautyberry (Callicarpa dichotoma 'Duet') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast into a dense shrub, and white flowers in spring and summer draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Blue Angel hosta, and Stargazer lily.
