Japanese Barberry 
New Red-leaved Japanese 
Barberry 7 
This new Barberry is as richly colored as a 
brilliant Japanese maple. In fact, the color 
grows brighter as the season advances. When 
cool days come in autumn and a light frost 
touches the foliage, the leaves turn to shades of 
scarlet, crimson, and vivid orange. Plant it in 
full sun if you want the most brilliant colors. 
Use the Red-leaved Barberry' for color in the 
shrub border, at corners, at curves along walks 
or drives, or as a boundary hedge.
