Berberis thunbergii 'Kobold'

This compact, rounded shrub features a dense habit with small, glossy green leaves that turn vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow in the fall, providing exceptional seasonal interest. Hardy in zones 4-8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Its mature height reaches 1-2 feet, with an equal spread, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, or container planting. Although it produces inconspicuous yellow flowers in spring, its ornamental value lies in its foliage and fall color. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, this dwarf shrub is perfect for adding charm to small spaces.
