Darwin's barberry
Berberis darwinii
Darwin's barberry is a tough, low-maintenance evergreen shrub that thrives in partial shade with regular watering during dry spells. It produces vibrant orange flowers in spring followed by edible dark-purple berries loved by wildlife. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and wear gloves, as the stems are thorny.
