Description

Barberry Rose Glow features eye-catching burgundy leaves marbled with soft pink highlights, creating a dynamic burst of color in the landscape. During late spring, small yellow blooms may appear, followed by red berries that can persist into cooler weather, drawing in birds for a seasonal spectacle. Its dense, arching branches lend a bold accent to borders and foundation plantings while offering consistent interest throughout the growing season. Widely recognized for its deer resistance, this shrub makes a dependable choice in regions where browsing animals pose a challenge.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Performs best with at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; consider adding organic matter to heavier soils to improve drainage.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to promote strong root development. Once established, it tolerates short dry spells but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged heat.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the main stems.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring, if needed, to maintain a neat shape and encourage healthy new growth.

Barberry Rose Glow delivers vibrant foliage and reliable structure, making it a versatile addition to Michigan gardens and landscapes.
