Berberis consists of shrubs that can be either deciduous or evergreen, characterized by their spiny branches and simple leaves that may have spine-like serrations. The plants produce small yellow or orange flowers, which appear in clusters or racemes in the leaf axils, eventually yielding small berries.

Berberis hypokerina is a compact evergreen shrub that typically reaches heights and widths of 60 cm to 2.5 m. Its stems are reddish-green and arch gracefully, supporting rigid, holly-like leaves that can grow up to 15 cm long and often display a white underside. In early summer, the plant produces dense clusters of lemon-yellow flowers, each measuring around 1 cm in diameter. These blooms give way to fruit in the autumn, which is blue-black with a white tinge.
