Limpet's Garden
Berberis
Genus: Berberis.
Species: Berberis thunbergii.
I just love looking at this all summer and autumn. The onlyt downside it that is it decidious!
Chameleon-like with pale green foilage and small yellow flowers by midsummer, the leaves are silvery-white/pink then turning crimson in autumn.
Fully to frost hardy. 5" x 5"
Soil: any well drained.
Full sun/part shade - colour is best in the sun.
Great in a pot, which means that when it has lost all it's gorgeous leaves (Nov-Dec) it can be moved in the greenhouse to over-winter out of sight.
I just love berberis in general!
