Golden Ruby dwarf variegated barberry LCN Selections’ Golden Ruby dwarf variegated barberry (Berberis thunbergii ‘Goruzam’ P.P. 16,203) is an eye-catching new variety that stands out with a stunning color transformation throughout the season. Spring foliage emerges a striking fluorescent orange, with leaves maturing to a burgundy maroon with a gold ring around the outer leaf margin in summer. Fall color is flame orange to brick red. This bold color combination adds drama in the garden against more subdued landscape plantings. Golden Ruby is very slow growing, reaching approximately 15 inches high and 24 inches wide, with a sparse fruit set. This easy-care plant will perform best in full sun and a well-drained soil.
