Berberis thunbergii ' Kobold ' Dwarf Japanese Barberry

Berberis thunbergii 'Kobold' is a dense, compact, low-mounding cultivar, grown for its attractive foliage and symmetrical compact size. Leaves open bright green in spring and mature to a glossy dark green in summer before eventually turning pale yellow (sometimes tinted with red) in fall. Tiny, bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers bloom March-April along the stems, but flowering for this cultivar is uncommon. Flowers that do occur may be followed by glossy, ellipsoid, bright red berries that mature in fall and persist into winter. Stems are clad with small spines. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil but can tolerate less ideal conditions.
