Japanese Barberry 'Kobold'

Japanese Barberry 'Kobold' (Berberis thunbergii 'Kobold') — the perfect emerald ball for your garden

Barberry 'Kobold' is one of the most popular dwarf barberry cultivars, prized for its unique, naturally globe-shaped form. This miniature shrub grows so densely and neatly that it needs almost no formative pruning. Through summer it decorates the garden with lush emerald green, and in autumn it turns into a genuinely striking accent, blazing with fiery colours.

🌟 Key advantages of the cultivar:

• Natural geometry (no pruning needed): Has a genetically built-in, perfectly round, very dense cushion-shaped crown. The shrub holds its shape on its own and doesn't fall apart.
• A striking change of outfit: In spring and summer the foliage delights with a rich, glossy, deep green colour, and in September-October it dramatically changes to fiery orange, golden or bright red.
• Extra ornamental value: In May the shrub becomes covered in small yellow flowers with a red edge, and in autumn the branches ripen with numerous glossy pink or bright red berries, which stay on the shrub even through winter.
• Maximum hardiness: The plant is beautifully adapted to urban conditions, tolerates drought and heat with ease, and is undemanding in care.
