This Japanese Barberry does what its name suggests. Berberis thunbergii 'Tiny Gold' is a compact hardy shrub, the deciduous foliage of which is a golden colour when it first appears in the spring. In the summer, these leaves take on a green hue, while the autumn sees them turn spectacular shades of orange and red. The plant's size, a mere 50cm (1'8), surely earns it a place in a patio container or at the front of a cottage garden border. It also boasts delicate, yellow flowers, which bloom in April and May and make this 'Tiny Gold' bush a nectar-rich haven for bees and butterflies in small wildlife gardens. Height: 50cm (1'8). Spread: 50cm (1'8).
