Berberis Darwinii 'Compacta'

Compacta' is an evergreen shrub with small, densely-packed, holly-like leaves, red-tinged in spring. Hanging sprays of small orange flowers with touches of red appear in spring, followed by bunches of blue-black berries.

This plant is suitable for full sun or partial shade in well drained soil. Frost hardy, although some foliage may scorch in severe winters.

Little pruning is necessary except to shorten back any strong upward shoots, by half in the spring after flowering.
