Rose Glow Barberry

The Rose Glow Japanese Barberry combines rich purple foliage on its purple-red stems with rose-pink mottled leaves on the young growth. This combination of vibrant colors make this plant one of the most dramatic and colorful shrubs available. When this is combined with hardiness, freedom from pests, drought-resistance and deer-resistance too, it becomes an essential plant for any successful garden. In spring the first flush of leaves is deep purple, but this is quickly followed by new growth that is rose-pink, mottled with purple. The color combination is stunning. Throughout the summer new growth maintains the pink and purple combination, then in fall the whole plant turns purple and red. As the leaves fall they reveal clusters of bright-red berries guaranteed to brighten up your winter garden, and attract birds from far and wide. This easily-grown plant fits well into any style of garden, and with its moderate height of around 5 feet it also fits well into gardens of any size.
