Morning everyone! Hidden all summer behind the crocosmia now unleashed upon autumn #callicarpa

Morning Richard, I love this, but I have a 2yr old granddaughter who likes to wander in the garden, so I may have to wait a while to get one. πππ

Morning Jane. Better to be safe than sorry! Iβve not heard that these are poisonous but I suspect they donβt taste very good! @pelly

Morning how lovely πππ

I've just had a look and you are right. I was lead to believe they were highly toxic by someone on here. Thanks for putting me right, I can look for one now. Happy days πππ

Lol cyndi! I still might give it a try though, I do like a challenge! @cyndi

Morning Richard ......such pretty berries. My Mum has this shrub ......I've been tempted to buy one for years but have no room really :))

That's gorgeous is it right that you need 2 plants for it to produce berries π

No Angie, Iβve only got one plant! @angiecrazycatlady

Really I might have to get myself one if i can find a space to squeeze it in π

I want one too.....ππ

Morning everyone! #callicarpa in flower, hopefully this will mean a lovely winter display of berries, although I may give it a prune after its flowered.
Morning Richard. My Mum has this shrub ....very pretty flower and berry. Not long pruned it for her πππ
Morning Richard pretty dainty flowers too π
Morning Richard, Iβm new to this one, I didnβt realise it needed pruning after flowering π€π€
I donβt think you have to Jane, mine is just not behaving itself and the best time to prune is after flowering (so the rhs says anyway). π€ @pelly
Thanks Richard, Iβll have a read about it. This is itβs first year so I doubt Iβll need to prune yet. πππ
Definitely Jane, I probably wouldnβt in itβs first year, let it establish. As I say, Iβm only doing it out of necessity! π @pelly
So pretty πππ
Hello Richard, interesting shrub, very nice tiny flowers and it provides winter colour. I will look for it in my local garden centre.
My one was slow for the first few years Suzy. But it seems to have picked up now! @suzyw
