November
Native Plant of the Month:
Callicarpa americana or
American Beautyberry
 This is one of our favorites and will attract birds to your yard. I grows to 4-6 feet and spreads to 4-6 feet. Lilac colored flowers will appear in the summer and the beautiful magenta berries will stay all winter. It is a fast grower and can be pruned aggressively prior to new spring growth. It is a good understory shrub. To order a plant, call, 962-5398, or email Dana@LRNow.org. Cost is $ 22.
