Crimson Pygmy Barberry

Crimson Pygmy Barberry is a dwarf, deciduous shrub known for its rich crimson foliage and compact, rounded shape. Reaching just 2 feet in height and width, this plant adds bold color, structure, and texture to landscapes and containers. Its vibrant red leaves hold their color through the growing season, turning even more vivid in fall. Tiny golden flowers bloom in spring, red berries appear in autumn, making this plant both ornamental and seasonally dynamic.
