EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION

Berberis thunbergii 'Aurea'

If you are looking for contrast in a shrub, you have found it with this one!! A definite knockout in just about any landscape. Super bright solid yellow foliage which retains its color well, except for in areas with lots of shade, where the leaves will then turn more of a lime green color. A very dense form of Barberry, and is relatively slow-growing when compared to other varieties of this species. From our experience with this variety, it will do very well in almost any location - full sun to part shade. Seems to do best when watered regularly - do not let it dry out too long - has an above average moisture requirement. Great for use as an accent shrub, mass plantings, but really too bright for use as a hedge due to the intense bright yellow color. May be kept at most any desired height / width through occasional trimming. A truly wonderful plant!!
