Rosy Glow Barberry features brilliant rosy-pink new growth atop the deep purplish-red foliage throughout the season. Small yellow flowers are produced in Spring but are hidden by the foliage so not considered showy. An exceptionally drought and heat tolerant shrub useful as a specimen accent or in small groups or massed in landscape beds, islands and foundation plantings. An easy to grow, low-maintenance plant. Grows in a wide range of soils provided there is very good drainage. This shrub does produce small spines along the branches, but you'll never have to touch it as no pruning is necessary!
