Berberis Darwinii Nana, commonly known as ‘Barberry’, is a compact evergreen flowering shrub of upright habit.  It has small, spiny, dark green holly like leaves which are often tinged red when young and masses of golden orange-yellow flowers appear from April through to May, followed by purple-black shiny berries, highly prized by the garden wild-life, a particular favourite of the local bee’s and butterflies. It  also makes an excellent low growing, flowering hedge or used to brighten a dull spot in the shrub border.
