Evergreen berberis by size

Berberis come in a range of sizes from dwarf to large shrubs, so it is important to choose the right plant for your garden. Smaller evergreen types are great for adding low-level structure and interest to mixed or shrub borders, while larger ones make effective hedges, screens and backdrops for other plants. With year-round cover and spiny stems, larger types also make a good choice for secure boundary planting.
