I just got this shrub-like plant and want to know what it is as well as how tall it will grow and what it's circumference may be. I was told it's name was Beautysweet, but I cannot find any information on the Internet. Before planting, I would like to know where to plant it so there is no need to move it in the future. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Jean Manifold

The shrub is beautyberry (Callicarpa dichotoma). When placed in full sun and ideal growing conditions, the plants may reach 3 to 4 ft in height with a spread of about 4 feet.
