Early Amethyst is a small, compact, rounded, deciduous shrub primarily known for its beautiful eye-catching display of shiny lavender berries from late summer through fall. It bears clusters of small trumpet-shaped lavender flowers in early to mid-summer along its arching stems. Requires occasional upkeep and maintenance. It is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed.
