Callicarpa x 'NCCX2'
Choose Pearl Glam® Beautyberry if you want dark purple foliage all season followed by clusters of violet-purple fall berries on an upright, space-saving shrub. The tradeoff: it is grown for foliage and berries rather than showy flowers, and it is deciduous.
Buy This If
- You want purple leaves plus purple berries.
- You have a sunny spot.
- You like a tidier, upright beautyberry.
Skip This If
- The area is shady.
- You need winter structure or screening.
- You want a flowering focal shrub.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Dark purple foliage all season plus violet berries make a strong fall statement. |
| Growth Rate | B | Moderate; fills in without getting unruly. |
| Maintenance | B | Prune in early spring; it blooms and fruits on new wood. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Beautyberry is usually left alone by deer. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Upright habit at 4 to 5 feet fits smaller beds better than older beautyberries. |
| Screening Value | D | Deciduous and open, so it is not a privacy plant. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Pearl Glam for a sunny mixed border where the dark foliage can contrast greens and the fall berries can shine. It fruits on its own, so a single plant still berries well.

Customers Usually Ask
Do I need two plants for berries?
No; Pearl Glam sets fruit without a pollinator partner.
Does it need full sun?
Full sun gives the darkest foliage and best berries; part shade is looser.
When should I prune it?
Early spring, since it flowers and fruits on new growth.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
