Berberis thunbergii 'Orange Rocket'
Reaching a height of about 3 to 4 feet with a narrow and columnar form, 'Orange Rocket' Barberry showcases brilliant orange-red leaves that create a bold and eye-catching display. The foliage maintains its vibrant color throughout the growing season, adding a burst of warmth to gardens and landscapes. In spring, small pale yellow flowers may appear, followed by small red berries that provide visual interest and may attract birds. 'Orange Rocket' thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
