Zone 6. Planted three last year, and we sure enjoyed them. Just bought three more. Far more color and less work than the perennials they replaced.

I love this plant, it's color is exactly like the photo's and having grown it for a summer I can say the color doesn't change. It is growing slowly and I have it in a 16 inch clay pot with black and gold Ajuga's. Barberry's are tough and very cold hardy shrubs and this one is the best Barberry I've ever grown.
