Product description
Berberis thunbergii ‘Orange Sunrise’ is a great shrub with some interesting and exotic colours that make it an excellent addition to any garden display. The upright stems carry small, rounded leaves which emerge deep pink in the Spring months before maturing to bright red with yellow margins in the Summer. Tiny, insignificant flowers appear near the tops of the stems and make for great pollinators. A versatile option for use as informal hedging or as a specimen plant.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil. A hardy and cold tolerant species that is generally low maintenance. Requires minimal pruning and should not grow out of control. Cut older stems to allow fresh growth.

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.
