Next to the west entrance of the HUB is an ‘Early Amethyst’ Purple Beautyberry {Callicarpa dichotoma ‘Early Amethyst’} in bloom with clusters of very small lavender flowers that will yield many clusters of slightly larger lavender fruits if we remain frost free until late September. We treat this plant as a perennial that we cut down to the ground before winter. If the fruits have time to mature it is very attractive.
