Types of Barberry Shrubs. Barberry shrubs are excellent hardy landscape plants that thrive with minimal care and maintenance. They come in many shapes, sizes and colors and can be evergreen (foliage all year) or deciduous (leaves drop in winter). The three main types of barberry shrub are red-leaved, gold-leaved and green-leaved (evergreen).
With more than 450 species of barberries, these hardy shrubs provide bright color and attractive foliage. Barberry shrubs are striking planted along a garden border or along a front walkway. The barberry bush prefers rock soils but is versatile and tolerates moist types, as long as they are well-drained. Beginning in the fall, the barberry leaves deepen and the bright red berries shoot out for a brilliant landscape design.
