Berberis callianthe

Withy more to Berberis than meets the eye, some species are widely used as garden plants, while others to make dye and other commercial products and some in homeopathy. A few are also regarded as environmental weeds when planted in the wrong area.

The common name for nearly all species is ‘Barberry’, and as a drought tolerant plant they do have many uses in landscaping.

Grown for the attractive green foliage as well as masses of flowers in spring Berberis are a hardy group of deciduous or evergreen shrubs depending on species. Commonly called the ‘Barberry’ they are found widely across Europe and North America.

Some are evergreen (B. julianae) and others are deciduous, most of the garden plants tend to be named cultivars, better foliage and growth habit and most species have a dense growth habit with thorny branches.
