is a small,
dense, slow growing ornamental shrub and the most popular variety
of Japanese Barberry. It is noted for its glistening reddish
purple foliage color. This plant is excellent for landscaping
as a specimen shrub or for a miniature hedge or border.
The "Crimson Pygmy' Barberry has barely noticeable
gold-tinged flowers in pendulous clusters that bloom in late April
or early May. It prefers full to partial sun and the foliage is
most colorful when it is grown in full sun. The Barberry prefers a
moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate poor soils. It will
grow in height to 2 feet with a spread of 2-3 feet.
