The Wintergreen Barberry is a handsome evergreen shrub that is prized for its colorful foliage, even during the Winter months. The dark green glossy leaves turn a bright red in Autumn, and if grown in the sun, remain blushed plum-purple until Spring, when a profusion bright yellow flowers is on display. The Julianae Barberry shrub makes a great evergreen hedging shrub that can be left to grow naturally or be clipped into a tight, impenetrable hedge with its spiky stems.
