Golden Ruby™ Barberry
Berberis thunbergii 'Goruzam' P.P.# 16203
A beautiful, slow-growing compact plant with striking coral-orange foliage. Later in season foliage is accented with a golden margin. Makes a great landscape plant for mass plantings or an eye-catching color contrast. Its compact growth habit, only two feet tall and wide, makes this a low maintenance selection. Prefers full sun. Deciduous. Another fantastic dwarf Barberry from Ohio plantsman Jim Zampini.
