Along time coming Hardy Japanese Barberry By CATHY WILSON Last week I talked about heat loving blanket flowers. The hardy Japan- ese Barberry is another example of a plant that also adapts well to our hot summer sun. It is a tough plant used frequently in parking lot landscapes around our local business stores. To gardeners it is a Courtesy photo Antelope School's Ball Wall Ribbon Cutting was held recently. It has taken more than 7 years to get the money raised for the ball wall so it has been a long time coming.

Its slender arching structure con- trasts well in a large rock garden where it becomes a sensational focal point. There are many choic- es of cultivars including plants selected for yellow, dark red to bronzy and purple reds, or variegated foliage. They usually reach 4-6 feet tall. Some have erect growth (for hedge use, and some are dwarf size. Most all have a graceful habit with curving branches. In the fall these plants have an additional benefit in that they provide changing colored leaves in yellow, orange and red before they fall. Many gardeners choose a color or color combination and repeat it to help unify their entire landscape. This provides a sense of continuity for their garden. Combina- tions of burgundy, blues and yellows, for example, create a wonderful con- trasting color scheme. The Japanese Barberries are often used for this purpose. Some of my favorite barberries for burgundy foliage are ‘Crimson Pygmy’ which is a dwarf 1 _ feet high and 2 _ feet wide It’s new leaves are bright red when new then turn to bronzy red. It must have sun to develop these rich colors. "Rose Glow" is a 4-6 ft. beauty with new foliage in a marbled maroon and pinkish white maturing into a deep rose and bronze. For outstanding yellow choices, I like ‘Aurea’ which gets to be 2 _-3 ft. Kelly-Griggs Summer Social tall and wide and ’Golden Nugget’ which is a dwarf reaching just over 1 ft. tall. The ‘Aurea’, I must caution you though, can- not take our late afternoon sun. It must be protected. "Golden Nugget’ ,howev- er, is more sun tolerant than all the other yellow barberries.
