Berberis thunbergii ‘Aurea Nana’ is a deciduous shrub with a low-growing, dense, and mounded habit and featuring bright chartreuse-gold leaves throughout spring and summer that change to shades of orange and bright red in autumn and shiny, oblong, bright red berries that form in autumn and often persist through winter. Uses include as a low border, barrier, low hedge, erosion control, weed suppression, accent. It is tolerant of intermountain conditions and mildly tolerant of seacoast conditions. It tolerates partial shade, but full sun is required to maximize the brilliant golden foliage color. Too much shade turns the leaves a dull yellow-green. Tolerates varied soil conditions; accepts acidic, clay, loamy, sandy, or gritty soils, provided they are well-drained. Moderate water use when installed, low when established. Deer resistant. Cold hardy to -30°F.
