Barberry 'Aurea Nana'
Berberis thunbergii 'Aurea Nana'
Aura Nana is a dwarf variety of barberry with golden-yellow foliage from spring to fall. The inconspicuous yellow flowers in summer turn into bright red berries by the fall.
This variety of barberry can tolerate full sun, but will sometimes burn during the hot summer months. Growing in part shade will help, but your leaves may be more of a chartreuse colour than golden-yellow.
Be careful when handling and pruning; barberry is extremely thorny!
Barberry grow best in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Wet, heavy soils can cause root rot.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.
