An extremely versatile ornamental shrub that can be grown as an upright specimen plant or even trained as a hedge. Thanks to its prickly nature, it is the perfect choice for creating a secure property boundary. These plants require minimal maintenance or trimming and have an upright, columnar habit. Berberis 'Orange Rocket' is suitable for a range of soils and positions, especially difficult, exposed areas.
With reddish-purple foliage making a fine display in spring, this dwarf Berberis continues to delight through the seasons, as the leaves mature to fiery scarlet in autumn. It has small yellow flowers which attract pollinating insects, followed by berries to feed the birds. Compact deciduous Berberis 'Atropurpurea Nana' is easy to grow in any well-drained soil. It can also be grown as an interesting low hedge. Height and spread: 100cm (40).
Add a splash of colour to rockeries and the front of borders with Berberis thunbergii 'Lutin Rouge'. New leaves emerge bright red and gradually deepen to rich wine red throughout summer ? perfect for creating a dramatic contrast with the green foliage of neighbouring plants.
