Daybreak® Barberry

The Daybreak Japanese Barberry is a great new addition to the range of barberry plants with colored leaves. It begins the season in warm tones of orange-red, passes the summer in cool golden yellow, and ends the season with stunning fall shades of reds and oranges. It stays a compact 18 inches tall and wide, never needing trimming to keep its rounded, mounding form. It is hardy all across the country except for the very coldest and hottest areas, and it needs no care to always look handsome. Using colored foliage is a modern way to bring continuous color to your garden, and with this easy-care plant you get not one, but three complete color changes in a year. With its compact size, it is a great choice for the smaller garden, and in larger gardens it can be planted in groups to bring bold swaths of color to your plantings. Because it stays small, it is also an easy and dramatic way to fill out planter boxes and pots, even if you have no garden at all.

• Three foliage color changes for constant interest
• Orange-red in spring, yellow in summer and red in fall
• Thrives in any ordinary sunny garden
• Free of pests and diseases and not eaten by deer
• Number one choice for easy gardening

Plant your Daybreak Japanese Barberry in a sunny place in any soil that is not always wet. Once established it is drought resistant and hardy right down to minus 30 degrees. It has no pests or diseases and deer will normally stay well away. It needs no trimming to keep its compact, mounded habit, simply expanding annually until it is fully grown. For easy gardening and bright colors through three seasons, this has to be your first choice.
