A friend of mine gave me a cutting of this small/tiny shrub. I didn´t have the camera with me so these are just photos of the cutting. The plant has dark green leaves at the bottom but the thin branches have pinkish small leaves.

Berberis Harlequin or Rose Glow probably ..

Looks like some kind of Barberry to me, but that's only a guess.

Oops. Late to the game, but nice to know I was on the right track.

Pretty plant, Magga--- love that color! Probably doesn't like the Heat or Humidity we have down here...

Yes, thank you Janet, I think you are right. .

Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea 'Harlequin' (Japanese barberry 'Harlequin')

I hope my cuttings will survive, this is a lovely little shrub.

Thanks Connie, It might be too warm where you are, but I think this little "Harlequin" will do well in the cool climate up here .

You're welcome Magga.

Harlequin is the one which I know and is widely sold, it's been around for years.
