Berberis

Berberis thunbergii ‘Golden Ring’ 

Graham Stuart Thomas once commented that the incredible beauty of Barberry foliage must be the reason why gardeners are willing to overlook their thorns, and he went so far as to say “perhaps they are valuable in combating hooliganism.” This compact Berberis is named for the golden edge that rings its dark reddish purple leaves, a lustrous accent more pronounced in the spring.

Sparkling against the opulent foliage, the small, bell-shaped yellow flowers are enhanced with warmly colored sepals and eventually give way to bright red fruit.

Blooms March–April.

Size: 3' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5.
