  1. Another lovely combination, Phillip. I wonder if the barberry would color up like that in my climate? Sunset says the species B. thunbergii will grow here, although I can't say I've ever seen it for sale locally.

    1. Kris, I'm not sure but I know that the color was nice in Alabama, where it was warm.
