Although Berberis thunbergii is often used as a prickly, low hedge, its green foliage, yellow spring blooms & red autumn berries also make for a great specimen plant. This Barberry is particularly eye-catching when its deciduous leaves turn firey shades of gold, orange & red before falling to the ground. This colourful display, in addition to the hardy shrub's spreading ability & resilient nature, make it easy to see why Berberis thunbergii is used to breed many popular cultivars.
