A Bit More

The smaller, rounder form of this dwarf barberry is easy to maintain, though care is still needed when handling its thorny branches. Spring bursts of bright red, darkening to shadowed burgundy as the leaves mature. Excellent as a border or barrier plant, providing dramatic color contrast with light greens and yellows.
