WorryFree® Crimson Cutie® Barberry

WorryFree® Crimson Cutie® Barberry (Berberis thunbergii 'UCONNBTCP4N') is a vibrant colorful little gem of a shrub that is not invasive! Spring brings glossy, leathery purple-red foliage in spring and summer which transforms to orange-red in fall! The cute little leaves and tiny red stickers have matching stems as they transform throughout the seasons! An excellent small shrub with fantastic color and thorns that will deter deer with some prickly thorns.

Barberry also has delightful tiny yellow blossoms that you may not notice, but your local bees and butterflies sure will! The darling little bells dangle and give early pollinators a vital nectar resource. Compact and naturally rounded, these deciduous shrubs are a fantastic non-invasive option to the popular Barberry!

Crimson Cutie® is seed-free, so after those flowers are gone, there are no seeds to worry about escaping into the wild where these shrubs have become a bit of a nuisance. Deer-resistant and cold-hardy, these are smaller spreading mounds that are generally neat and tidy!

Planting and Application:

Crimson Cutie® Barberry is a darling size for low hedges and borders! The thorns are a good deterrent to stop foot traffic of both the two and four-legged varieties while adding a colorful backdrop for smaller shrubs and perennials! Great for lining property lines and along the road for a colorful burst of curb appeal!

Pop these into large planters for a showy specimen and focal point in the garden! Ideal for anchoring garden beds, heading up a walkway, or being a vibrant focal point among other burgundy flowering or foliage plants! Pair with brooding purples, or offset with radiant orange flowers!
