Lime Glo Barberry, Spring 2015

Lime Glow Barberry can grow up to 5′ tall and 4′ wide. It is a slow grower and will need regular watering when it is hot. It should turn a brilliant red in the Fall, I can’t wait to see it and get some pictures on here.

  • Width: 4′
  • Full Sun

Pros

  • Deer Resistant
  • Leaves can handle the sun, some light green/yellow barberries do not

  • Thorns (this can be a plus if you want to deter people from an area)
  • Slow growing
