Berberis Diabolicum is a bushy, deciduous shrub that has various colours of foliage in all seasons of the year. Spring sees green foliage with a red tint and yellow flowering, before green and yellow mixed foliage in Summer. In Autumn, the foliage is shaded in both orange and yellow, which is joined by red fruit that adds even more colour to proceedings. Moist, well-drained soil and full sun is how the plant should be planted and placed in. Once it is planted, thoroughly water it for a period, with Summer seeing consistent watering to keep up with the higher temperatures. Moist soil should always be maintained, so long as it avoids becoming waterlogged.
