WorryFree® Crimson Cutie® Barberry (Berberis thunbergii 'Crimson Cutie') is a compact, sterile Japanese barberry cultivar developed to be non-invasive and safe for regions where traditional barberries are restricted. It features rich purplish-red foliage that holds its color through the growing season and shifts to vibrant orange-red in the fall. This deciduous shrub grows to about 2 to 3 feet tall and spreads 3 to 4 feet wide, forming a naturally dense, mounded shape with little need for pruning. It produces small yellow flowers in spring and is deer-resistant, heat- and drought-tolerant once established, making it an easy-care choice for modern landscapes.
