The native Callicarpa americana flowers from the spring to the fall. Being that it is late June, I'm surprised I haven't seen more of them blooming. After blooming, the plant's fruit ripen to a beautiful bright pink/magenta color.
I found this plant in a pine & oak flat woods but their distribution is throughout the area where they will be willing to grow in either mesic or xeric woods.
Beautyberry is often used in ornamental plantings, which I gladly support because of it's native status in Florida.
