Clusters (cymes) of small, lavender flowers bloom in the leaf axils along the stems in summer. Flowers are followed by large clusters of bright, glossy, violet-purple fruits (each 1/6” diameter) which ripen in September and put on their best show through November. Beauty berry is a must for the fall garden.
