Bonanza Gold Barberry

The Bonanza™ Gold Barberry is an easy-to-grow dwarf shrub that features bright-red spring growth and glowing gold summer leaves. In fall these turn scarlet and red, and in winter bright red berries decorate the bare branches. Growing no more than 2 feet tall, and spreading widely as much as 3 feet, this plant is perfect for the front of bigger beds, alone or in groups. Plant a row to border a path, drive or large shrub bed. Use it as an easy and colorful way to fill planters and boxes. Use it in a smaller garden, where it is exactly the right scale for multi-season color, without taking up too much room.
