BailErin First Editions® Limoncello™ Dwarf Yellow Barberry

First Editions® Limoncello™ is the trade name for Berberis thunbergii ‘BailErin’, a compact barberry grown for chartreuse-yellow leaves marked with fine red dots along their margins. Its rounded mound keeps a tidy outline while the foliage shifts to orange, yellow, and red in autumn. ## Form and Foliage The [First Editions® cultivar profile](https://firsteditionsplants.com/product/limoncello-barberry/) describes a mature shrub about 3–4 feet tall and wide, with yellow flowers and foliage that changes through the season. The [Park Seed profile](https://www.parkseed.com/products/berberis-first-editions-limoncello-27547) also identifies ‘BailErin’ and describes the red-patterned leaves. Thorny branches need clearance from narrow paths. ## Placement Grow it in full sun or part shade and well-drained soil. First Editions® lists USDA zones 4–7 and drought tolerance once established. Use the compact mound as a border accent, foundation planting, or repeated element in a mass planting. ## Seasonal Interest The red-dotted margins stand out on new chartreuse foliage. Autumn color includes orange, yellow, and red; the cultivar also bears small yellow flowers. ## Maintenance Water through establishment and during extended dry weather. Once established, the shrub tolerates drought, though watering during prolonged dry periods supports healthy growth. Prune selectively in early spring to remove damaged branches or preserve its allotted space.
