| Landscape | Valuable as medium-height groundcover, however it may become invasive and should be held in check through the removal of unwanted shoots. |
| Propagation | Propagate by fresh seed, although hybridization is likely to occur. May also be propagated through division. |
| Cultivation | Grow in full sun, will tolerate a range of soils and climactic conditions. |
| Pests | Susceptible to the bacterium Pseudomonas berberidis, which causes small, purple-black spots on the leaves and can be controlled with a fungicide spray. Powdery mildew and root rot may also cause problems, and infestations by the berberry aphid (Liosomaphis berberidis) are possible. |
| Notable Specimens | Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington, Ontario, Canada. |
| Habitat | Horticultural origin. |
