Berberis Harlequin.


Berberis Harlequin.  (Japanese barberry (Berberis))

Japanese barberry 'Harlequin'

A compact, upright, deciduous shrub about 1.2m tall, with small, rounded, deep purple leaves, variably splashed and mottled with creamy-white and grey, and small, red-tinged, pale yellow spring flowers followed by dark red berries in autumn. Very spiney but very pretty shrub.

I do like the Barbery shrubs even though they are quite spiney.The mottled colouring especially attractive.

I agree with Julia. I like them as well for many reasons.
