The roots contain high levels of the alkaloid berberine, which has strong antimicrobial activity. A yellow dye is obtained from the roots. In the 17th century, the shrub’s ashes were mixed with water and used to turn hair yellow. The barberry plant is native to Europe. It prefers rocky, well-drained, moist soils in a cool, protected, part-shaded position. Produces clusters of small yellow flowers in spring and summer. Frost-resistant but drought-tender.
