Beautyberry - Purple Pride
The Beautyberry 'Purple Pride', Callicarpa dichotoma 'Issai', is an outstanding Japanese selection with lilac-violet berries. Issai means fruiting at a young age. It does best if planted in a protected location (from winter wind and sun), preferably in an east exposure. 'Purple Pride' has colorful berries that last long into winter and are eaten by a variety of wildlife. Pruning makes 'Purple Pride' even a more attractive, pretty plant. Cut it back to within 4-6” of the ground in early spring since it flowers and fruits on new wood. Beautyberry looks best planted in masses, and it is especially beautiful under pine trees or placed in a shrub border. Plant for winter color! Zones 5-9 Fast-Growing

Blackberry - Darrow - DetailsBlackberry - Darrow - Sale Price: $42.75
If you’ve ever picked and eaten wild blackberries, you know there’s nothing like their intense, deep, true blackberry flavor and aroma. The problem with wild blackberries is that they’re susceptible to rust and blight, and the fruits are often tiny, not to mention that you have to go find them. Start an easy-to-grow berry patch of your own with several ‘Darrow’ plants, and every summer (and often again in early fall) you’ll harvest huge, delectable berries with that same wild-picked taste, but minus the problems. This blackberry is hardy to zone 5, is ultra-vigorous and also self-pollinating. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot for your patch and amend the soil with compost. Keep ‘Darrow’ watered during dry spells, mulch well and prune regularly, and it will produce in top form for many years. Make indescribably delicious cobblers, crisps, pies, jam, jelly, syrup, liqueurs and wine at a fraction of the cost of store-bought berries. The antioxidant health benefits alone are reason enough to plant these beauties! Zones 5-8.

The Butterfly Bush 'Black Knight', Buddleia 'Black Knight', is a vigorous growing shrub that boasts dark purple flower from mid-summer and is a butterfly magnet.
