Dramatic, Easy-Growing Color

Why Crimson Pygmy Barberry Shrubs?

Exceptional dark red foliage and easy, carefree growth make the Crimson Pygmy Barberry a landscape designer favorite. From its incredible color to its pest and disease resistance, the Crimson Pygmy is a choice focal-point shrub.

No chemicals, no hassle, and no guesswork. When it comes to the Crimson Pygmy Barberry, you get beautiful dark red foliage in prime form without lifting a finger, along with a profusion of small yellow flowers in the spring. Purple berries follow the flowers, turning red in the winter and providing a source of food for graceful wildlife.

Even better is the fact that no shearing or pruning is needed. This colorful shrub is naturally compact and dwarf-sized, so it will never get overgrown. From driveway hedges to polished, sleek color tucked under window sills, the Crimson Pygmy makes an unparalleled impression.
