Barberry is an unsung hero of the modern garden. They make an excellent hedge, provide foliage colors from a variety of different spectrums, and are deer and pest resistant. As it shares the shape of other hedge favorites such as boxwood or compacta holly, barberry offers a variety of color choices that others do not. You can find varieties that range from deep burgundy to red, orange, yellow, and all shades in between. Be cautious though. A big factor in barberry\u2019s deer resistance is the sharp thorns that hide underneath the foliage. Be sure when planting that you wear sturdy gloves and plant barberry in areas where there isn\u2019t a lot of foot traffic. We\u2019d hate to see these planted around an outdoor water spigot you\u2019d need to get access to in the summer!<\/p>\n
