This hot, in-demand cultivar is sure to be a winner with your customers for its year round appeal.

With a dense rounded form and a bird-attracting berry show that will light up the landscape, this underused plant deserves a little more attention. ‘Early Amethyst’ grows well in part shade or full sun and carries season long interest starting as new foliage emerges bronze in the spring and matures to a lush, deep green. Small, soft pink flowers bloom in late June followed by masses of small berries that start green and change to an electric purple color earlier than all the other Callicarpa in late August. Nice yellow fall foliage color makes the berries stand out even more!

What an appropriate plant to bear her name since it is a ferocious, persistent bloomer that attracts as much color as it shows. Like all Buddleia, ‘Lucy’s Dream’ is so easy to grow wanting only full sun and great drainage to thrive. Hard spring pruning before leaves emerge will rejuvenate this plant yearly and allow for outstanding bloom each summer.
