beautyberry

Vivid violet berries

Beautyberry is a shrub native to the Americas and Asia, known for clusters of vivid purple berries that appear in autumn.

The berries are edible but bland, valued more for ornamental display than flavor.

The plant attracts birds and is sometimes used in folk remedies as an insect repellent.
