Day 352: Want autumn colour in your garden year-'round? Plant Barberry! This thorny shrub can be used as an accent plant or may be planted in a row to form a hedge. Deer and elk ignore it. It can be pruned to keep it at a manageable height/size. Birds love the berries, and its ability to spread through seed dispersal is a problem in some regions, so monitoring flower beds for "volunteers" may be required. Many varieties are available in nurseries.
