I have several specimens of Berberis and most of them are redish, but Harlekin Berberis ( Berberis Thunbergii Rose Glow ) is specific and the most beautiful.
Harlekin Berberis is a lovely ornamental compact (up to 1.5m) hedging plant. Its young foliage held on arching branches is initially purple, then developing pink, cream and silver variegation which last all summer before the autumn foliage turns glowing red before dropping (it is deciduous). It has small pale yellow flowers (tinged red) in late spring and bright red berries in autumn. The variegation is improved by pruning annually in autumn/winter. It grows by about 25cm pa.This variety of Berberis is good on poor soils, and will do well in most sites other than very wet and full shade.
