Berberis thunbergii ‘Golden Carpet® is a low-growing, deciduous barberry valued for its bright golden foliage and reliable garden performance. The small, finely textured leaves open in vivid yellow tones in spring and typically retain strong colour throughout the growing season, creating a striking contrast in borders, rockeries, and low planting schemes. In late spring to early summer, tiny yellow flowers appear along the stems, often followed by small decorative fruits. With its naturally spreading, carpet-like habit, ‘Golden Carpet®’ is particularly effective as a groundcover or low edging plant where bold, long-lasting foliage colour is desired. Hardy and adaptable to a range of well-drained soils, it brings year-round structure and low maintenance appeal to gardens.
