Japanese barberry 'Rose Glow'
Berberis thunbergii
Like any decorative Japanese barberry , the Japanese barberry ‘Rose Glow’ (Berberis thunbergii) stands out with its two-tone pink and purple foliage from spring to autumn. First, the tender, candy-pink, arched shoots seem to float, vaporous and contrast with the underlying purple foliage, then a variegated marbling is drawn that invites you to lean over it, but not too much, because although it is thorny, it can be admired from afar, as it requires no maintenance. Satisfied in partial shade, the Japanese barberry ‘Rose-Glow’ shines especially in the sun, in any type of soil and tolerates acidity and drought without being affected by pollution or salt.
The small edible fruits are above all festive on rice white as in snow, persistent until they are picked freeze-dried, softened by the cold. To complete the culinary portrait, the leaves, with a sorrel flavor, cast a burst of lemony color on a potato salad, on white pasta or in a mesclun.
Warning: Like rhubarb, the leaves and fruits of barberry contain oxalic acid, avoid if you are prone to kidney stones.
Self-pollinating.
Replaces: pomegranate, lemon and lime. Pairs: various appetizers, bites and pastries (dried, crushed and sprinkled), pearl barley (fruit and leaves), rice (fruit and leaves) and hummus.
