The thunbergii variety of Berberis (Berberis thunbergii Japanese Barberry) are sometimes called the red barberry family. An effective shrub, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/berbthunadmiration\/berberis-thunbergi-admiration.html\">Berberis Thunbergii<\/a> won\u2019t be eaten or damaged by deer. It is thorny but if you have a greenbelt area or a large mixed border, you can simply let it grow to do its own thing. Left to its own devices, Berberis Thunbergii Japanese Barberry\u00a0\u00a0has a naturally compact growth habit that can look very good in mixed borders. It is also suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/hedging.html\">hedging<\/a> &#8211; keep it clipped to form a dense, low-growing hedge with year round interest from the changing colours of the foliage, the flowers in late spring to the berries in the autumn \/ winter. Size wise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/hedging.html\">Berberis Thunbergii <\/a>won\u2019t get much higher than circa 1 to 1.5 metres so it\u2019s very much a medium sized shrub.<\/p>\n<p>While there are many Berberis varieties, we tend to focus on those with the most striking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/autumn-planting\/\">autumn colour<\/a> and those with attractive, long lasting berries. The thunbergii cultivars in particular keep their colour longer than other varieties and once the foliage does finally fall, the berries linger on dramatically throughout the winter. Of particular note are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/berbthunadmiration\/berberis-thunbergi-admiration.html\">Berberis Thunbergii Admiration<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/berbthunbor\/berberis-thunbergii-orange-rocket.html\">Berberis Thunbergii Orange Rocket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/berbharlequin\/berberis-thunbergii-f-atropupurea-harlequin.html\">Berberis Thunbergii Atropurpurea<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>&#8211; the red leaf Japanese barberry \u2013 has <strong>striking red \/ purple foliage<\/strong>.
