Lemon Glow Barberry

The Worry Free® Lemon Glow® Barberry Shrubs are one of two varieties bred by the University of Connecticut to be truly and completely sterile and therefore non-invasive. The Lemon Glow® is a vibrant neon chartreuse yellow in summer and fall. It is perfect as a non-invasive sterile alternative to the Sunjoy Citrus Barberry. Its compact, rounded growing habit makes it ideal for borders, low hedges, and foundation plants.

Japanese barberry bushes became popular in US landscaping in the 1980s and 1990s, but many were found to spread voraciously and crowd out native shrubs in forest floors. Now, and after years of careful breeding and testing, you can enjoy the glamorous chartreuse yellow look of a lemon-lime barberry bush without worrying about any environmental impact.
