Callicarpa Profusion are quite easy to grow, they prefer a good soil that has some drainage and will thrive in conditions of full sun through to dappled shade making them suitable for the woodland garden as well as beds and borders.
Prune in late Winter or Early Spring after the berries have been taken by birds, aim to retain a bushy framework of branches that will encourage a good number of new shoots which will in turn produce a prolific crop of the colourful berries.
