63755Q.My Beautyberry Grows From The Ground Every Year. Why
I planted multiple beautyberry bushes several years ago. Every year, the bush restarts growing from the ground. None of the existing branches are putting out any stems/leaves. I don't understand why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Certified ExpertA.You are in USDA 6, and the shrub is only fully hardy down to Zone 7.
Unfortunately, unless you grow it in container and bring it in during the coldest parts of the year, this is what you will expect each year.

Certified ExpertA.Lucky you! This is a wonderful native plant called beautyberry (Callicarpa americana). The berries are not toxic.

I have given it a lot of water but the leaves are still looking wilted. Will it come back? Any suggestions to help it along? I live in central Florida.

Certified ExpertA.As long as you got most of the rootball and replanted before the roots dried out, it should come back. Here are its optimum conditions that should help:
