Golden Rocket Barberry
Golden Rocket Barberry is a narrow upright branching deciduous shrub valued for its vibrant foliage that grows full to the ground. The small leaves emerge in spring as a showy, bright yellow which contrasts against its coral-colored stems and holds through summer before turning a stunning mix of red-orange in fall. Unnoticeable tiny white flowers bloom in spring that gives way to small amounts of fruit. Best color in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought and deer resistant. Asexual propagation is prohibited.
Barberry has known use of the root bark as an anthelmintic, antiseptic and febrifuge, and can be used orally as a treatment for various enteric infections.*
