Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea |Rose Glow

Rose Glow' (Japanese Barberry) is a charming, small, deciduous shrub with eye-catching foliage of deep rose-red leaves mottled with pink and white. Tiny, pale yellow flowers appear in mid-late spring but are insignificant in comparison to the foliage. They are followed by an abundant crop of bright red berries in the fall, which are attractive to birds and often remain on the spiny stems after the leaves have fallen, therefore extending the season of interest of this ornamental shrub through the winter.

• Grows with a compact and bushy habit to 5 ft. tall (150 cm) and 4 ft. wide (120 cm).
• Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
• Performs best in full sun or part shade, in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils. Japanese Barberry is not fussy about soils provided they are not soggy or wet. Good drainage is essential. Drought, pollution, deer, clay, or dry soil tolerant!
• Fairly pest-free, easy to grow, and to care for. May be subject to powdery mildews.
• Japanese Barberry is very adaptable and an excellent choice as a single specimen plant or massed in beds, borders, as an informal screen or hedge.
• Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings.
