Golden Ruby Barberry


One of our more unique plants in the garden is "Golden Ruby" Barberry. It's variegated leaf margins give this plant a brighter color and could provide interest in any garden. A few notes from the grower:


This eye-catching new Barberry, hardy to Zone 4, stands out with its unique color transformation throughout the season. Spring foliage emerges a striking fluorescent orange, with leaves maturing to a burgundy maroon with a gold ring around the outer leaf margin in summer. Fall color is a flame orange to brick red. This bold color combination stands out in
the garden against more subdued landscape plantings.

Golden Ruby™ is very slow growing reaching approximately 15” high and 24” wide. Unlike many other barberry varieties, fruit set is sparse. It will perform best planted in full sun in well drained soil.
