Growing and Maintenance Tips:

This shrub does best in partial shade; foliage colour will fade in shady locations, but sun scorch may occur in full sun in hot, dry seasons.

Additional Notes about Dwarf Golden Barberry:

Invasive.Barberries are prolific berry producers. Up to 90% of the berries are viable. Birds eat the berries and drop the seeds far and wide. A plant in the wild will drop seeds that are not eaten, and those seeds will germinate around the original plant, resulting in a thicket of thorny plants that displace native species and, of course, prevent wildlife entry.Consider alternatives such as cultivars of Ilex verticillata or Physocarpos opulifolius.
