The berries are coming!
Walking the dog this morning I spotted American beautyberry already showing its brilliant lavender fruits. This great native is a must for the fall garden.
Hardy from Zone 7 to 10, full sun or part shade, it is a show stopper.

I know you asked Walter, but sweet shrub is Calycanthus floridus, it blooms in spring with fragrant flowers that smell (to many) like a crosss between strawberry and banana, another great native. The botanical name for American Beautyberry is Callicarpa americana. Walter mentioned another species called Callicarpa dichotoma.
