Plant description:

This small, purple-leaved shrub is one of the most spectacular of the barberries, with pink-flushed, bronzy-purple foliage and spiny stems. Small, yellow, bell-shaped flowers are borne in clusters in early summer. It grows to 500mm. B. Thunbergii ‘Atropurpurea’ is bigger, growing to 1.5m, and is useful for its brilliant purple foliage. ‘Atropurpurea Nana’ is similar to these, but low-growing, reaching only 500mm. ‘Red Chief’ grows to 1.2m and is a compact shrub with purplish-red, round leaves and red stems. All these varieties make very effective landscaping plants.
