Berberis darwinii ‘Nana’ Description

Berberis darwinii ‘Nana’ is a compact evergreen shrub with dense branching and narrow, spine-tipped dark green leaves. Clusters of bright yellow flowers are produced along the stems in late spring and may be followed by blue-black berries in autumn. Its mature size of around 60cm high and wide makes it easier to place than the much larger species. Use it near the front of shrub borders, as a low defensive hedge or in a substantial container. Grow in full sun or partial shade in most moist but well-drained soils. It is hardy and tolerant of coastal exposure, making it a dependable choice for Irish gardens. Handle and prune carefully because the foliage and stems are sharply armed.
