About The Orange Rocket Barberry
Light Up Your Landscape With the Orange Rocket Barberry
Bring the bold color of the Orange Rocket Barberry to your landscape. Brilliant coral-orange new growth matures to rich green through the growing season before finishing with striking ruby-red foliage in fall. Its naturally narrow, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for adding height, structure, and vibrant color without taking up much space.
This award-winning deciduous shrub is easy to grow and offers improved resistance to rust, making it a dependable addition to gardens and landscapes. Use it as a colorful specimen, plant several together for a dramatic mass planting, or tuck it into a decorative container to brighten patios, entryways, or small spaces.
