Abstract: A new and distinct variety of golden pygmy barberry plant named Bogozam is provided. The new variety can be readily distinguished from its parents, Berberis thunbergii `Atropurpurea Nana` and Berberis thunbergii `Aurea` (both nonpatented in the United States). For instance, the new variety forms a dwarf, compact, broad low-mounding plant; generally forms mature leaves of a brighter and more intense golden coloration; generally forms new growth having a brighter and more intense red coloration; generally exhibits a rapid growth rate between internodes of a relatively short length and a dense growth habit; and is more tolerant to sun scald. The new variety is particularly well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
