Acidic / Clay / Heavy / Moist / Well Drained / Light / Sandy
Callicarpa japonica var. luxurians is a robust beauty berry, similar to Callicarpa 'Profusion' but with arching branches and larger, deep lavender-purple berries.
Grow Callicarpa japonica var. luxurians in moist but well-drained soil in full sun, ideally near a path or front garden where you can appreciate its autumn beauty. Plants tolerate a little lime in the soil, but conditions which are too alkaline will cause leaf yellowing.
