The Sunjoy® Tangelo Barberry has some of the most colorful leaves of any shrub. The new growth is an almost fluorescent bright orange, turning to a deeper orange-red as it matures. The glossy oval leaves develop a fine edging of light yellow as they mature, bringing a wonderful sparkle to this vigorous shrub. It quickly grows to 3 or 4 feet tall, and it makes a wonderful feature plant in a bed, alone or in a group. Plant it around your home, for color, or make a hedge with it anywhere you need one.
Always plant the Sunjoy® Tangelo Barberry in full sun, to keep the leaves brightly colored all season. This reliable and vigorous plant grows in any well-drained soil, including sandy gravels, heavy clays, and poor urban soils. It is both cold hardy and very drought resistant, once established. Normally it is pest and disease free and both deer and rabbits leave it alone. Its spiny stems make it a good impenetrable barrier. Trim as needed or leave to grow naturally – almost no care is needed to succeed with this colorful plant.
