The 'Orange Rocket' is a wonderful and vibrant shrub which features vivid orange leaves when young, which later mature to a healthy mid-green colour. Tiny yellow flowers appear in spring and these later turn to glossy red fruits in autumn. The compact, upright form of this deciduous barberry makes it great for adding structure to your outdoor space and the vibrant array of colours will brighten up a darker area of your garden. This low-maintenance shrub is tolerant of costal conditions and is the perfect choice for planting in beds and borders or on slopes and banks.
