WorryFree® Crimson Cutie® Barberry is a vibrant color-changing little gem of a shrub! Spring brings glossy reddish foliage that transforms into a glossy deep purple-reddish green for the summer! The cute little leaves and tiny red stickers have matching stems as they transform throughout the seasons!
Barberry also has delightful tiny yellow blossoms that you may not notice, but your local bees and butterflies sure will! The darling little bells dangle and give early pollinators a vital nectar resource. Compact and naturally rounded, these deciduous shrubs are a fantastic non-invasive option to the popular Barberry!
Crimson Cutie® is seed-free, so after those flowers are gone, there are no seeds to worry about escaping into the wild where these shrubs have become a bit of a nuisance. Deer resistant and cold hardy, these are smaller spreading mounds that are generally neat and tidy!
Planting and Application:
Crimson Cutie® Barberry is a darling size for low hedges and borders! The thorns are a good deterrent to stop foot traffic of both the two and four-legged variety while adding a colorful backdrop for smaller shrubs and perennials! Great for lining property lines and along the road for a colorful burst of curb appeal!
Pop these into large planters for a showy specimen and focal point in the garden! Ideal for anchoring garden beds, heading up a walkway, or being a vibrant focal point among other burgundy flowering or foliage plants! Pair with brooding purples, or offset with radiant orange flowers!
- Bright Red Spring Growth
- Reddish-Purple Tinged Summer Foliage
- Darling Little Yellow Blossoms
- Hedge, Specimen & Large Containers
- Pollinator-Friendly & Seed-Free!
