Barberry, Golden Ruby

A striking, compact deciduous shrub prized for its dynamic and seasonally shifting foliage. In spring it begins with glowing yellow-orange leaves that mature into a deeper coral hue.Through summer and into autumn, the foliage gains ruby tones with gold-edged margins, creating a rich, variegated palette that draws the eye. Though its flowers are modest- pale yellow and inconspicuous- they add subtle spring interest before giving way to berries in some clients. Its compact size, attractive foliage, and deer resistance make it a favorite for gardeners who want bold color without a lot of fuss.
