Purple leaf barberry (Berberis thunbergii 'Admiration')

Berberis thunbergii, commonly known as Japanese barberry, is a deciduous shrub native to Japan and eastern Asia. It features small, oval leaves, thorny stems, and bright red berries. It is often used in landscaping for its vibrant foliage, which turns red in autumn. However, it is considered invasive in some regions due to its ability to spread rapidly and outcompete native plants. It thrives in various soil types and tolerates drought well.
