Berberis thunbergii 'Golden Rocket'

Gardeners often shy away from barberries because of the thorns, but placed strategically in the landscape, they can add wonderful height and color. 'Golden Rocket' has a narrow profile and grows slowly, so would fit nicely in container planters until they're ready to be moved out into the yard. The more sun, the better the foliage color. Inconspicuous blooms in the summer form red berries in the fall and winter, for a bit more color during the dreary time of year. Although deciduous, 'Golden Rocket' can serve as an informal hedge or privacy barrier for three seasons of the year.
