Berberis Thunbergii, better known as Japanese Barberry or Red Barberry, is a hardy shrub treasured for its spectacular autumn colour<\/a>. The dense, deer-resistant foliage and the compact growth habit make barberry varieties a popular choice for hedging<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While barberry is often used to create eye-catching hedges, its attractive natural habit makes this deciduous shrub suitable both for mixed shrub borders and for growing as individual specimens. Due to their vibrant autumn foliage, Berberis can also be used as a contrasting shrub, and it will look splendid when paired with an elegant evergreen variety, such as Ilex Crenata.<\/a> In addition to its gorgeous foliage, Berberis Thunbergii<\/a><\/span> boasts masses of tiny yellow flowers in the spring, followed by bright red oval berries; both of which only add to the cultivar\u2019s ornamental appeal. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to Care for a Barberry Shrub <\/span><\/h2>\n

Keeping Berberis Thunbergii in optimal form will not require much work. The deer-resistant hedging shrub responds remarkably well to shearing and trimming, which is a plus when it is used in neat, elegant borders, but it will look marvellous even when left to its own devices. The majority of cultivars in the red barberry family are medium-sized and have a bushy habit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The low-maintenance barberry varieties will thrive in full sun or partial shade and any well-drained soil. Although Berberis is versatile when it comes to ideal growing conditions, planting it in a sunnier part of the garden will encourage vivid foliage colour. These shrubs are generally not picky when it comes to growing locations, and they will do well both in exposed and sheltered spots in the garden. <\/span><\/p>\n
