Barberry Golden Rocket
Add brilliant yellow foliage and a narrow upright form where landscape space is limited. Golden Rocket Barberry develops bright yellow leaves against coral-colored stems, then finishes the season with red and orange fall tones. Its tight vertical habit makes it especially useful for narrow borders and upright accents.
