In Spring and Summer, clean, long-pointed green foliage covers graceful, arching branches, accompanied in mid-Summer by small clusters of delicate, pale pinkish-purple flowers. By early Autumn, as the flowers fade, dense, eye-catching clusters of metallic, violet-purple berries coat the stems. The leaves turn a clear light yellow in Autumn before falling, leaving the brilliant purple berries hanging on bare stems well into early Winter. A free-fruiting Japanese cultivar, it begins bearing fruit at a much younger age than other species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eRequires shelter from wind storms or coastal gales\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist, fertile, well-drained soil; prefers neutral to slightly acidic ground but copes well in mild clay or sand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun, partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Summer flowers, vivid violet Autumn berries, and bright yellow Autumn foliage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eFully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) \u003cstrong\u003eSpread: \u003c\/strong\u003e4-5ft (1.2-1.5m)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImages by \u003ca rel=\"author\" href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/131880272@N06\/\" class=\"owner-name truncate ds-link-primary-text\" title=\"Go to cultivar413’s photostream\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" id=\"yui_3_18_1_1_1792582632459_37651\"\u003ecultivar413\u003c\/a\u003e cropped and licensed under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 10L","offer_id":55507859505479,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/CallicarpaIssai1.jpg?v=1792585193","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/en-gb\/products\/callicarpa-dichotoma-issai","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
