Berberis thun. 'Atropurpurea Nana'
Genus: Berberis
Species: thun.
Variety: 'Atropurpurea Nana'

A neat dwarf shrub with striking purple-red foliage that turns to vivid scarlet in the autumn. In late spring, it has lots of pale yellow flowers. Great in a mixed border, but it would also make a good low hedge.
