This is my worst offender, as far as invasive plants go. Callicarpa dichotoma seeds itself all over my yard, my potted material, etc. I have not seen it anywhere beyond my cultivated spaces so far. Although very pretty from now until Thanksgiving because of the gazillions of clustered bb-sized fruit, it is no great beauty the rest of the year. It is tough as nails, however, enduring just absolutely Sahara-dry peat mix in pots, and deer will not touch it. Even a moderate winter does seem to cause dieback though.
