Callicarpa bodinieri 'Magical Snowqueen'Beauty Berry

Callicarpa ‘Magical Snowqueen’ is an unusual selection of Beauty Berry which features glossy, white berries instead of the usual purple. Wonderful planted against a dark, evergreen background where it’s bead-like berries will stand out beautifully.

In summer, Callicarpa ‘Magical Snowqueen’ is an inconspicuous shrub, forming a quiet green backdrop to border plantings with small pinkish flowers. But come autumn and its bare stems are loaded with masses of pearly white berries. The berries persist for a long time and are avoided by birds due to their bitter flavour. For the best performance plant it in a position bathed in full sun and you will also be rewarded with yellow and purple foliage tints in autumn. As well as enjoying the berries in the garden, you can also cut a few to add to winter vase arrangements. Height: 175cm (69in). Spread: 150cm (59in).

The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
