Berberis Thunbergii Orange Rocket

Japanese barberry Orange Rocket

Berberis or Barberries are deciduous, mound-forming shrubs. They have bright attractive foliage and bear small red to yellow berries in Autumn. Berberis have plenty of thorns so are commonly used as a security hedge.

Barberry shrubs range in size from dwarf species suitable for rock gardens to larger specimens which are ideal for a shrub border. They are very easy to grow and maintain and respond very well to being trimmed. Berberis should be trimmed after flowering to maintain a neat shape.

They are fully hardy shrubs which grow well in most well-drained soils.

Berberis thunbergii 'Orange Rocket' is a striking deciduous shrub renowned for its vibrant, upright growth habit and brilliant foliage. This variety showcases bright coral-orange leaves that deepen to a rich red as the season progresses, adding a dramatic splash of colour to any garden. In autumn, the foliage turns a vivid, fiery red, creating a stunning visual display.

Where Should I Site My Berberis thunbergii 'Orange Rocket'?

Plant Berberis thunbergii 'Orange Rocket' in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. It thrives in various soil types, provided they are not prone to waterlogging. For the most intense colour display, choose a location with full sun or light shade. A soaker hose can help maintain consistent moisture levels, especially during dry periods. To create a larger and thicker spread hedge, plant 3–4 per metre.

Growth and Pruning

Berberis thunbergii 'Orange Rocket' grows to about 1 to 1.5 metres in height and 0.5 to 1 metre in width, making it ideal for use in borders, flower beds, or as a colourful hedge. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant. Regular pruning helps maintain its compact form and encourages vigorous growth.
