Is your garden one monotone green color for much of the growing season? Does it need an extra dose of color and texture? Gold Leaved Barberry will bring your garden an easy pop of gold that will contrast with basic green. Berberis thunbergii ‘Aurea’ or Gold Leaved Barberry per its namesake, has bright golden-chartreuse foliage that turns a fantastic orange red in the fall. The plant has spiny stems and an insignificant flower. This easy-to-grow and adaptable shrub is a wonderful addition to most gardens.

Gold Leaved Barberry grows up to 3 - 5 feet tall with an upright, mounding habit. It is a deciduous shrub that is hardy to zone 4. In warmer climates, the shrub may remain evergreen over the winter. Gold Leaved Barberry is deer and pest resistant, making it very low maintenance and worry-free. Gold Leaved Barberry is a great choice for hedging, garden borders, or containers. 

Gold Leaved Barberry Care

Gold Leaved Barberry grows well in full sun to part shade. The foliage color, from chartreuse to fall oranges, is most vibrant in a full sun location. The plant has average water needs and prefers well-drained soil that is acidic to slightly alkaline. Fertilize one time a year in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. 

Typically, Gold Leaved Barberry does not require pruning. Selective shaping can be done for more manicured hedges in the fall or winter. Do not prune more than one-third of the plant at a time. Remove any dead branches from the plant at any point of the year. 

Gold Leaved Barberry Spacing

Gold Leaved Barberry will grow to 3 to 5 feet in height and width. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart if planting a uniform hedge and slightly farther apart to create drifts in the garden.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
