The Concorde barberry shrub will add some maroon foliage to your garden, and is a good choice if you’re looking for something small—it usually only grows to about three feet, and will do well in neutral pH soil. It can be planted in sun or partial shade, and will need to be watered only in dry conditions. This one can be planted year round, so if you miss autumn planting, you can still put one in the ground come spring.
