Callicarpa japonica 'Leucocarpa'

Callicarpa japonica 'Leucocarpa' is an attractive upright beauty berry, similar to Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii 'Profusion' but with white berries rather then purple. It bears pretty pale pink-white flowers in summer, contrasting with dark green leaves, which turn shades of pale yellow and bronze before falling in autumn.

Grow Callicarpa japonica 'Leucocarpa' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun, ideally near a path or front garden where you can appreciate its autumn beauty. Plants tolerate a little lime in the soil, but conditions which are too alkaline will cause leaf yellowing.
