Toscana Barberry

Berberis thunbergii 'BailJulia'

Toscana™ Barberry

The large showy foliage of Toscana Barberry emerges red in spring with a fine, bright yellow margin. The margin eventually fades through summer, but the foliage remains a vibrant red. The leaf color darkens in autumn, taking on flaming scarlet tones. Toscana forms an upright shrub with arching branches, creating a beautiful informal hedge or accent plant in cool and moderate climates.
