Bubble Up™ Beautyberry is the kind of plant that stops visitors in their tracks—first with its charming pink summer blooms, and then with its vivid, jewel-toned purple berries that appear earlier than those of traditional beautyberries. This early fruiting means more color, more impact, and more opportunities to enjoy its glowing orbs long before frost threatens to dull the show.
Its naturally upright, slightly narrow habit gives it an elegant silhouette that fits beautifully into modern landscapes and mixed borders. Tall enough to use as a screen but lean enough for smaller spaces, Bubble Up™ Beautyberry brings structure that's both polished and whimsical. And when autumn arrives, those vibrant berries become irresistible additions to fresh or dried cut flower arrangements, giving designers and gardeners a playful pop of color.
One of its greatest strengths is its impressive deer resistance—this shrub belongs to the Proven Winners® Deer Proof Program for a reason. Heat tolerant, low maintenance, and reliably floriferous, Bubble Up™ Beautyberry is perfect for gardeners looking to add unexpected fall interest without inviting neighborhood nibblers. Whether used as a specimen, in groupings, or as a lively backdrop, this beautyberry delivers color and charm all season.

BUBBLE UP™ BEAUTYBERRY Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
- Adapts to a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy.
- Slightly acidic to neutral pH promotes best berry production.
- Sun Exposure:
- Thrives in full sun, producing the heaviest berry clusters.
- Can tolerate light afternoon shade in warmer regions.

- Irrigation Needs:
- Moderate watering during establishment.
- Once rooted, it shows good drought tolerance.
- Water deeply but allow the soil surface to dry between waterings.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.
- Compost or leaf mold helps support vigorous blooming and berry set.
- Avoid heavy nitrogen fertilizer, which encourages foliage over fruit.
- Pruning & Maintenance:

- Remove older stems to improve berry production.
- Minimal maintenance needed—naturally tidy and upright.
- Berries form on new growth, so annual pruning improves the show.
