Berberis 'Admiration'
Berberis thunbergii 'Admiration' PP#16,921
Nothing does foliage interest like this stunning barberry bush. From spring until fall phenomenal shades of maroon, lime green, scarlet and gold foliage is what you can expect from this delightful and colorful shrub. This compact cultivar grows between 1 to 2 feet high and wide making it ideal for using in borders and tucking into those tight corners which could use a burst of life and interest. Looks exceptional in mass plantings, forms a nice hedge and is the ideal size for containers as well. You'll love this versatile plant but thankfully deer despise it. As tough as it is beautiful, this shrub can also withstand drought without losing a step.
'Admiration' blooms spring to summer, has shades of red, orange, lime green/chartreuse, prefers sun to partial shade, color fast even in the heat of summer. Deer resistant and drought tolerant, this compact shrub makes a great accent and border plant.
