While looking for pansies to plant in the windowboxes--(why does everyone sell stinky "ornamental" cabbages, and this year no pansies???)--we came across an "Early Amethyst Beautyberry", Callicarpa dichotoma 'Early Amethyst'.
It is now planted in what-was-left-of-the-topsoil pile, to the right of the driveway. I don't know if this will be its permanent home, but it was so pot-bound I had to cut the pot away, and it needed water and something to spread roots in.
The berries are really beautiful, and it should have pink flowers next summer too.
I must mulch it well, and remember to cut it back in spring.
