Berberys (Berberis thunbergii ‘Atropurpurea’)

The Berberys (Berberis thunbergii ‘Atropurpurea’) is one of the most popular decorative shrubs, admired for its intense purple-red leaves and elegant, rounded shape. During spring, it produces small yellow flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage, followed by bright red berries in autumn — adding long-lasting visual interest throughout the seasons.

This deciduous shrub is not only decorative but also highly practical. It grows densely, forming natural, colorful barriers or low hedges that require minimal care. Its thorny branches make it an excellent choice for protective plantings, while its vivid leaf color enhances both formal and natural garden styles. The plant is fully frost-hardy and tolerates pruning well, allowing easy shape control and creative garden use.
