Berberis thunbergii 'Admiration'

 

The Admiration Barberry is a striking compact shrub that brings vibrant color and texture to any garden. Featuring rich burgundy leaves edged with a delicate golden border, this plant provides captivating visual interest throughout the growing season. When winter arrives, its foliage drops to expose bold red stems, adding unexpected beauty to the landscape during colder months.

Ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet resilient option, the Admiration Barberry is both drought-tolerant and pest-resistant, ensuring it thrives with minimal care. It flourishes best in full sun, where its colors intensify, reaching a neat, manageable size of approximately 2 feet in height and width. This makes it perfect for creating attractive borders or low hedges that can serve practical purposes, such as deterring deer and rabbits near vegetable patches.

Combine this versatile shrub with evergreens like distylium or gardenia to enjoy year-round garden appeal. Its rich tones harmonize beautifully with plants such as Gold Mop cypress, allowing for creative mixes of colors and textures. Transform your outdoor space with the Admiration Barberry’s enduring charm and effortless elegance—plant it today to enjoy a stunning landscape that captivates across all seasons.
