Description

Darwin’s Barberry (Berberis darwinii) is a dense, hardy evergreen shrub which produces edible berries which are excellent in jams & preserves.

The foliage is dark green, glossy and holly like with new foliage beginning off red and changing to green as it grows.

The flowers are orange / yellow and attract bees and other pollinators and the dark blue berries are a welcome food source for a variety of birds.
