A compact deciduous barberry, growing to 2′ tall and wide with a rounded form. The reddish leaves develop a thin yellow margin in summer, giving a delicate appearance. Insignificant yellow spring flowers may lead to reddish fruits, which add winter interest after the fiery fall color. Best in full sun. Very drought and deer resistant.
Hardy to zone 4
