European barberry
Berberis vulgaris
European barberry is a hardy, deciduous shrub that tolerates a wide range of soils and light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Its tart red berries attract birds and wildlife, and the plant provides excellent autumn color in the garden. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and handle with care as its stems bear sharp spines.
