These berries persist well into winter and provide ornamental interest as well as a valuable food source for wildlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican beautyberry grows in rich woods and thickets in East Texas, especially in the coastal plain pinelands. It has small, unspectacular greenish-white flowers in early summer, but they are followed by clusters of beautiful purple berries clinging to the branches in late summer. American beautyberry is best suited to semi-shaded sites with some moisture. It can tolerate full sun if given supplemental watering, and can tolerate some drought, but does not do well on thin, rocky soils. Otherwise it is remarkably tolerant of various soils and habitats. The seeds are a favorite of many species of birds and other wildlife, so much so that they can disappear in a matter of days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS:\u003cbr\u003eSoak the seeds in cool water for 24 hours in late winter to soften the seed coat. Fill 4-inch pots or seedling trays with a seed-starting mix. Water it slowly until the soil is evenly moist.\u003cbr\u003ePlace around six seeds in each pot, and cover the seeds only lightly with soil.\u003cbr\u003ePlace the pots indoors near a bright window. Make sure the soil is constantly moist but not soggy. Germination can take up to three months.\u003cbr\u003eKeep all but the strongest seedling in each pot, and cut off the rest with scissors. Don't pull the extra seedlings out, as this can damage the roots of the other seedlings.\u003cbr\u003eOnce the root system of the new beautyberry has filled the pot (when roots start to grow out of the drain holes), it is ready to be transplanted outdoors.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kincotrade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48007585169638,"sku":"ALYPSJA","price":1.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4996\/3238\/files\/Output_248.jpg?v=1784279467","url":"https:\/\/kincotrade.com\/products\/american-beauty-berry-100-seeds-ships-from-the-usa","provider":"Kincotrade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
