The Lemon Cutie® Barberry introduces bold color and texture into a landscape without the invasive qualities common to other cultivars. Also known as Berberis, this shrub features a dense, compact form and tiny, brilliant, gold foliage. This plant is sterile and does not produce berries, so it does not self-seed and spread.

Use the Lemon Cutie® Barberry to create a hedge, line a walkway, or divide an area. This deciduous shrub has a full and dense growth habit and is deer resistant, making it an excellent addition to areas with large deer populations. Grow Lemon Cutie® as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.

Lemon Cutie® Barberry Care

The Lemon Cutie® Barberry grows well in full sun to partial shade, but the foliage will have a more intense golden color when it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Plant Lemon Cutie® in acidic to slightly alkaline soil with medium moisture and good drainage. Established plants have medium to low water needs. This Barberry is drought tolerant, but be sure to water during a dry spell to help the plant thrive. This shrub is not a heavy feeder; fertilizing every 2 to 3 years is plenty to support abundant growth. Use a balanced fertilizer during the early spring before new growth emerges.

This slow-growing Barberry has a naturally rounded form. Shape the plant as needed during the early spring and remove no more than one-third of the growth.

Lemon Cutie® Barberry Spacing

The Lemon Cutie® Barberry has a dense, compact, and bushy form. The woody stems have thorns and reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Space these shrubs 18 to 24 inches apart to create a uniform hedge or mass planting.

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.
