The leaves emerge in spring a brilliant deep rose-red molted with white and green specks. Rose Glow Barberry has inconspicuous yellow flowers in spring which give way to abundant red fruits that last from summer through fall after the foliage drops. Best color in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought and deer resistant.
Barberry has known use of the root bark as an anthelmintic, antiseptic and febrifuge, and can be used orally as a treatment for various enteric infections.*
