Kobold Barberry is a compact, tidy landscape shrub prized for its neat mounding form and brilliant fall color without the fuss of fancy-foliage varieties. Dark green leaves hold through the season before turning vivid red-burgundy in autumn, creating a striking low hedge or border edging. Tiny yellow spring flowers give way to small berries that persist into winter and attract birds to the garden. Salt tolerant, deer resistant, and exceptionally tough, Kobold thrives in a wide range of conditions — from dry sites and poor soils to roadsides — with minimal care once established.
