Beautyberry - Variegated Duet
The Beautyberry Variegated Duet, Callicarpa dichotoma 'Duet', is very easy to grow and because of its arching habit, it looks great with other perennials and shrubs. Duet has narrow leaves that are edged in yellow, which age to creamy white by late summer. Clusters of white pea-like flowers appear at the ends of the branches from early to mid-summer, but they are rather inconspicuous. In September the plant is then adorned with masses of chalky white berry clusters. You can grow Duet in both moist and dry soils in light shade, with the end result being a simply superb plant! After the leaves have dropped in fall, the berries continue to hang on for several weeks. This shrub makes a three-season plant because of its amazing foliage and berries. It creates an excellent hedge or screen; disease and insect resistant and naturally hardy. This stunning beautyberry is the first stable variegated variety to be found in this genus. The berries are excellent wildlife food. Zones 5-9 For a carefree, rapid growing shrub, you cannot do better than the variegated Duet Beautyberry!

The Common White Lilac, Syringa Vulgaris, is well-known and loved by gardeners all over the world for its beauty and fragrance. This fragrance is one of the most powerful fragrances emitted by a plant. This deciduous shrub is used as a hedge or as an individual accent plant.

Lilacs can withstand severely cold winters (even -35 degrees C) and in fact the species does not grow well in areas without significant frost in wintertime. Although it’s been recreated for perfumes and candles, nothing compares to the scent of fresh Lilac. The fragrance is captivating; literally spring will be in the air for weeks, if not months. Plant the Common White Lilac next to Common Purple Lilac for outstanding color contrast!
