This tall weeping deciduous shrub bears bright purple fruit or berries that grow in clusters on long arching branches.
I planted this shrub about ten years ago in the front yard beside the driveway. It faces south and loves the full sun. Every fall I look forward to it's beautiful show of glossy iridescent-purple berries.

It makes a pretty fall bouquet.

They are a beautiful shade of purple!
That is simply a beautiful contrast in green and purple. We have similar berries here, but they are Rowan ad are red.;)

I have one in my yard too. Like you, I look forward to this time of year when they put on such a gorgeous show. I added a few to a bouquet of dry hydrangeas over the weekend. Makes me happy every time I pass by.
That is gorgeous, Donna!! I have two tiny ones that I planted 2 years ago...I'll keep loving them, keeping in my mind's eye how beautiful they could look one day. :)
Donna, I saw some beauty bushes blooming at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden a few weeks ago and they were absolutely beautiful! The color is just such a vivid hue of purple!! Just beautiful, hence the name beauty bush!!
Such a beautiful shrub. I love those berries. We are going to have to add one to our garden. Have a wonderful week.

What a beautiful berry! The color is perfect for an autumn bouquet!
I'll have to see if we can grown them here in Missouri.

I must see if we can grow these here, but I suspect it is too cold to winter over. The colour of the berries is fantastic. A gorgeous contrast to the everyday Fall colours.
Your arrangement in the copper pot looks so nice!
hugs

Holy cow, wow, Donna! Those berries are gorgeous!! I've never seen ones quite like it. Wonder if they will grow up north in PA?
this is too funny. i was just at my sisters house on vacation and she has all these bushes with these bright beautiful purple berries along her driveway and we had no clue what they were....well, now i know what they are!
