description for "Hedges: Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea 'Crimson Pygmy'"
'Crimson Pygmy' barberry is a colorful, dwarf form of the more common Japanese barberry. Its burgundy leaves add zest to sunny mixed borders and hedges spring through fall. This drought tolerant shrub needs little care after planting and is a top choice for this editor. Edited by Patrick Schwartzkopf
