New plant.....to me.

I saw this plant in the Garden Centre today,must admit I hadn't seen it before.........Has anyone else seen it.............Do you know what it is?

 

That`s Callicarpa, Roders, also known as Beauty Berry.:thumb::D

 

Looks like a Callicarpa bodinieri to me.

 

Sometimes called the callicarpa "profusion" or beauty berry. Quite eye catching in the winter!

 

Yes you are correct guys.....................Well this is the label that I saw and I thought it was labeled wrong ,thought the label was Skimea......

Quite a difference..............see what I mean.

 

Looks a lot better than the label (but then I like purple/blue)

 

I really like that Roders, so unusual.:D 02

 

lovely plant :thmb:

 

Lovely choice of shrub Roders:thumb:We have two of them in our garden and at the moment they are full of berries.I think they must be one of the most beautiful berried shrubs you can buy.

My advice would be to get another one though because where we used to live we had only one and it never did any good so when we saw them in our local nursery we went for the two priced at £9.99 each and have had plenty of berries since.By having two it helps with the pollination when the flowers are open.The leaves are tiny and not really worth a mention but the berries are something else.

I put up some photos last year of mine on here but can't find where they have got to and can't find them in PB at the moment.If I can get out into the garden tomorrow I will take some more photo's to put on here to show you

Ours were about the same height as yours but four years later they are about 6ft tall.

Hope you have many years of joy out of them:thmb:

 

It looks like a really nice plant Must write that one down and see if it would be okay in my garden.

 

Roders the very plant I saw 2 weeks ago and had the very spot in my garden fo rit.

Went back and they did not have more ,it was not th ename as did not pay attention to name of plant was the stunning colour of berries.

 

Scotkat, you will be able to find them again, they are very fashionable at the moment. B&Q had some earlier this week.
