Description

A glowing star for your garden displays! This shining Beautyberry takes the rich purple berries of the ever-so popular Callicarpa ‘Profusion’ variety and gives them a bright white makeover.

This delightful shrub boasts toothed green foliage from spring to autumn, lit up with pearly white berries in autumn, which stretch along the length of the upright stems - truly dazzling!

Easy to grow and winter hardy, with very little maintenance needed to retain an attractive look, this is the shrub for all gardeners, whether beginner or experienced, with stems of flowers perfect for cutting for fresh vase displays.

The berries follow a summertime scattering of lilac flowers, which gather in clusters on the stems of the plant. Welcome an injection of colour to your garden with ‘Magical Snowstar’, which grasps the eye whether grown alone or alongside the vibrant shades of other perennials.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • This variety requires regular watering to produce the best autumn shows - drought will mean that not many berries form.
  • Autumn colour is best in full sun.
Care Information

Planting Advice for Callicarpa:

  • Grow Callicarpa in any fertile, well drained garden soil in full sun or partial shade.
  • Water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and three times the width of the nursery pot.
  • Add a soil conditioner, such as well-rotted manure, to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Plants benefit from the addition of mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole and roots, prior to planting.
  • Gently lower the plant into the hole, to the same level as it was supplied in the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
  • Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Aftercare:

  • Although Callicarpa will tolerate a little lime in the soil, they will suffer from yellowing foliage if there is too much, so you may need to add ericaceous compost if soil conditions are particularly high in alkaline.
  • Keep plants well-watered.

Pruning:

  • Prune back stems in early spring, if necessary, to remove spindly or damaged growth, cutting back to a permanent framework to maintain shape and size.
  • Stems with berries can be cut for indoor arrangements in autumn.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
