Notes
Barberry (Berberis replicata) is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It grows 60 to 72 inches tall and wide, so give it room. Fragrant pale yellow flowers open in late spring. The leaves stay on the plant all year.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Iris, and Carnation.
