Berberis thunbergii 'Royal Cloak'

Description

This selection looks to all the world like a purple smoke tree from a distance. Large, arching branches of rounded, deep red-purple leaves carry multitudes of rusty gold flowers in spring. Combines well, we think, with grays, whites and yellows in our mixed border. One of the most effective foliage plants that we grow. It tolerates shearing, making it a good choice for a hedge or topiary. Provide only full sun and fertile, well- drained soil
