Barberry, Golden
Berberis thunbergii 'Aurea'
Golden Barberry has brilliant yellow foliage and is an awsome plant to use where a distinct color contrast is desired. The yellow foliage holds up well and does not seem to burn in the summer, even in the south. The plant is dense and rather slow growing to 4 feet by 4 feet. Be weary of planting this plant where you could possibly get stuck by one of its many thorns!
