Wintergreen Barberry

A handsome evergreen shrub with deep green leaves, wintergreen barberry is often used as a screen. From spring to early summer, it produces clusters of fragrant yellow or red-tinged flowers, followed by egg-shaped, blue-black fruits. Wintergreen barberry will grow to 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide in ideal growing conditions: full or partial sun and well-drained soil.
