This delightfully compact shrub has a truly unique display of foliage as the leaves emerge deep green and mature to a rich red colour with a distinctive yellow margin. The spring leaves are accompanied by pale pink flowers, and these later turn to small, shiny crimson fruits in autumn. The ‘Admiration’ is great for planting in a mixed border or bed and will add a unique splash of colour to your garden. For the optimum leaf colour, plant this barberry in a sunny spot.
