SSG, my brugs are still blooming. Yours is probably just taking a break. If you give it water and fertilizer, there should be another flush of blooms in October.

There are 2 brugs in the photo below. 'Dr Seuss' (probably what you have) was still blooming, but the 'Xena' in the back was pretty much done for the year. I took the photo right before I had to cut the plants back to just a few sticks because there was a huge wind in the forcast. That was quite late of the season, probably mid or late October.

The beautiberry is so pretty. If the berries add color to the winter landscape, that's even better! You can plant a gold leaf Euonymus behind it as a backdrop for the purple berries.
