The Pow-wow Barberry forms a narrow, upright column reaching 2 or 3 feet, and staying just 1 or 2 feet wide. The leaves are constantly changing, beginning the year glowing yellow with red tips. Summer leaves are chartreuse to bright green, with irregular white mottling and patterning on many leaves. The fall display is spectacular, turning glowing orange from top to bottom. It’s shape is ideal for low hedges and barriers – trimmed or untrimmed. Grow it as a vertical accent in shrub beds, or among rocks and boulders on slopes. In spring it has yellow flowers among the leaves, and bright red berries decorate the bare stems in fall, before they are eaten by birds.

  • Slender, upright shape is perfect for small hedges
  • Spring growth is glowing yellow with red tips
  • Summer leaves are bright green with white mottling
  • Brilliant rich orange tones in fall
  • Tough, reliable, cold and deer resistant

The Pow-wow Barberry will show the brightest colors when grown in full sun. Any well-drained soil is perfect, and that includes urban soils, sands and gravels, and clays too. Once established it is very drought resistant, and it’s cold-resistant too. A great shrub without pest, disease or deer problems, and one that needs almost no attention to thrive and look great.
