Southern Living 2 gal Potted Orange Arugula Barberry Shrub Bushes Bushes

The Orange Rocket Barberry from the Southern Living Plant Collection elevates gardens to new heights! During spring, young foliage emerges as a vivid coral. This soft foliage matures through Summer becoming an eye-catching scarlet-red. Afterward, it features one more color change before the winter sets in. You'll see the scarlet-red leaves age to an elegant ruby red. This adds even more vivid red hues to your fall landscape. Like most Barberries, this variety features small sharp thorns on the branches. Once established, this fast-growing plant proves itself to be quite hardy. It's also drought tolerant. In fact, its low-water requirements make it perfect for Xeriscape gardens. It grows in a column-like shape that reaches around 4 H x 1.5 W. This vertical growth habit presents unique opportunities in the landscape. Horizontal growth steers the eye over a landscape. Vertical growth gives the eye a reason to pause. This allows the viewer to absorb the colors and textures of the scene presenting itself. This barberry shines as a border, slope plant, mass planting, or in a container. Mix in a few as accents in a foundation planting. They'll take your home's curb appeal to the next level!
