Product description
Berberis Diabolicum is a bushy, deciduous shrub that has various colours of foliage in all seasons of the year. Spring sees green foliage with a red tint and yellow flowering, before green and yellow mixed foliage in Summer. In Autumn, the foliage is shaded in both orange and yellow, which is joined by red fruit that adds even more colour to proceedings. Moist, well-drained soil and full sun is how the plant should be planted and placed in. Once it is planted, thoroughly water it for a period, with Summer seeing consistent watering to keep up with the higher temperatures. Moist soil should always be maintained, so long as it avoids becoming waterlogged.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Berbaris plants are covered in spines, so always protect yourself with gloves and long sleeves when tending them.
How to Water
Water generously and regularly for the first growing season. After this, berbaris is relatively drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Berberis grows well in most moist but well-draining soil types and thrives in full sun or partial shade. Prepare the ground, digging in some garden compost and position the plant in the hole before backfilling and watering in well.
