Plant Features
The Aurea Nana Barberry is an intensely-colored plant with golden leaves that are noticeable stand-outs. They hold their stunning attractiveness throughout the spring, summer and fall, turning deeper gold, then copper and finally deep red as the brilliant red berries appear. This specimen is grown almost primarily for its foliage colors, producing only small pale yellow, fragrant flowers, though its slightly salt-tolerant nature has our coastal growers planting it for its brilliant color in those sheltered areas out of the way of salty spray.
