As the season advances, this new Barberry becomes more brilliant and gorgeous and in the fall its foliage changes to vivid orange, scarlet and red shades. In this coloring it is unequalled by any other shrub and is followed by the same brilliant scarlet berries common to the type which remain on the plant the entire winter. All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun.
