Berberis x glad. 'William Penn'

This semi-evergreen shrub features a dense, mounding habit and is well-suited for zones 5-8. It thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates a variety of conditions, including dry and rocky locations. Preferring full sun to partial shade, it exhibits green foliage in summer that transforms into striking bronze or maroon hues in fall. The plant produces small yellow flowers in spring, which are followed by ornamental red berries that attract birds. Reaching a mature height of 4-6 feet with a similar spread, it offers good deer resistance and serves as a low-maintenance option for hedges or borders. This hardy variety performs best in temperatures of 20°F to 80°F, adding an architectural presence to any landscape with its rounded form.
