Whoever Dart might be, he's lucky to possess this Red Lady. Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea 'Dart's Red Lady' is among the finest varieties of Japanese Barberry, as evidenced by its well deserved RHS AGM. The hardy shrub spreads beautifully to create a blanket of colour throughout the season, beginning when its deep purple, deciduous leaves appear. This foliage sprouts delicate, yellow flowers along the lengths of its stems in March and April, followed by contrasting, crimson berries. Autumn sees a dramatic change, for the leaves turn vivid shades of red and eventually fall to the ground ready for the cycle to begin again. Height: 50cm (1'8); Spread: 50cm (1'8).
