Pearl Glam® Beautyberry is primarily grown for its highly ornamental fruit. It features an abundance of magnificent violet berries from early to late fall. It has white trumpet-shaped flowers along the branches from mid to late summer, which are interesting on close inspection. It has deep purple deciduous foliage. The fuzzy pointy leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color.

Pearl Glam® Beautyberry will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
