American Beauty-Berry, or French Mulberry, is a showy, deciduous shrub that grows to a height and width of 3 to 5 feet with long branches that bear yellow-green foliage and small, pink flowers. Beauty-Berry's most distinctive feature is its round clusters of bright, glossy purple fruit at leaf axils that grow during the fall and winter. This plant provides an important food source for wildlife, growing in partial shade and moist, rich soils.
