Landscape Notes: Looking for a fast-growing yet dwarf golden barberry? This is it! Sunjoy® Mini Saffron is a burn-resistant gem that shines out in the landscape, even in the heat of summer. The foliage has hints of orange in the new growth and turns orange-red in fall.
Exposure/Culture: This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.
Other Notes: Tiny, tidy, and super colorful! Sunjoy Mini Saffron barberry just needs sun and well-drained soil – if you can give it that, it will give you bright gold foliage spring-fall and never need pruning or trimming. Like other barberries, it’s free of pests and diseases, including deer, and offers tremendous versatility in the landscape. Foliage has been extensively evaluated and proven to resist burning in full sun.
