Dwarf Darwin’s Barberry

A low growing, dense evergreen shrub that makes excellent groundcover or a tough low growing flowering hedge. The shiny, small, holly-like leaves of Berberis darwinii Nana are smothered in orange-yellow bell-shaped flowers in Spring and early Summer and are followed by edible purple berries in Autumn. A great low growing Berberis for a coastal location, it will tolerate some shade and will grow in all but wet sites.
