Burgundy Barberry Shrub

 

Burgundy Barberry Shrub provides deep burgundy color all year long. During the Winter, it provides color and structure in your landscape. It blooms small yellow flowers in early summer, which attracts honey bees. It has sharp thorns which keep the deer away. Barberry is very easy to maintain. Prune with pruning shears, such as Fiskars 25-33 Inch Power-Lever Extendable Hedge Shear (9169), to maintain shape. Fertilize with organic fertilizer Espoma PT18 Plant Tone, 18-Pound in early Spring.

A word of caution to beginner gardeners: Barberry seeds fly in the wind or are carried by birds, and they germinate easily in close by areas. Our neighbors have 2 free Barberry shrubs, courtesy of our Barberry shrub! If you find an unwanted Barberry shrub growing, just yank it up, or give it to a neighbor or friend.
