Plant Features
The Sunjoy® Syrah Barberry Plant is another selection chosen by Proven Winners® for its magical dark wine-red-purply color. At times, almost appearing black, the foliage is nothing short of dramatic and eye-catching. Though Barberry shrubs are most often grown for their foliage and protective thorns, Syrah has petite yellow flowers that make the foliage literally pop and against which they are quite showy. Its slight tolerance to salt even has our coastal gardeners growing it where it's protected from direct salt spray; they report exceptional results!
