Berberis thunbergii, commonly known as Japanese barberry, is a popular deciduous shrub prized for its ornamental qualities and versatility in the landscape. Native to Japan, this barberry species is celebrated for its vibrant seasonal foliage that shifts from bright green in spring to stunning scarlet, orange, and purple hues in fall. Tiny yellow flowers appear in spring, followed by showy red berries that persist into winter. Berberis thunbergii is a slow-growing, densely branched shrub that typically reaches 3-6 feet tall and wide, with a rounded, mounded habit. Its sharp spines and thorns make it an effective barrier or hedging plant. Adaptable to a range of soil types and growing conditions, Japanese barberry thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought tolerant once established. With its dynamic color, four-season interest, and low-maintenance nature, Berberis thunbergii is a versatile choice for foundation plantings, borders, mass plantings, and naturalized areas.
