Re: Shrubs for the birds.

Callicarpa is a new one to me - couldn't find it in my regular books. But I see that Plant World list seeds in their catalogue. Callicarpa bodinieri, very hardy, 2-3 ft high, lilac flowers in summer followed by bright violet berries in autumn.

I will add this to my next order and give it a try, but it will probably take a couple of years to reach flowering size.
