Berberis thunbergii 'Neon Gold' - Height 30-40cm - Shrub - 12lt

Berberis thunbergii ‘Neon Gold’ is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage that glows vividly throughout the growing season. A member of the Japanese barberry family, it forms a dense, mounding shape, typically reaching about 1 to 2 feet high and wide, making it ideal for borders, low hedges, or mass plantings. Its small, oval leaves emerge in bright chartreuse in spring, deepening to golden hues in summer and sometimes taking on subtle orange tones in autumn. In late spring, tiny yellow flowers appear, followed by small, glossy red berries that persist into winter, adding interest and attracting birds.

‘Neon Gold’ thrives in full sun, which enhances its leaf color, though it tolerates partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. The shrub is also deer-resistant and low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning to maintain shape. Perfect for brightening mixed borders, rock gardens, or foundation plantings, Berberis thunbergii ‘Neon Gold’ provides year-round color and structure in the garden with minimal effort.
