Southern Living Plant Collection Orange Rocket Barberry Accent Shrub in 1.5 -Gallon Pot 2 -Pack

Revitalize your garden with the Orange Rocket Barberry from the Southern Living Plant Collection, a stunning addition that brings a burst of vibrant coral-red foliage, deepening to a rich burgundy-red as the seasons change. Its naturally upright growth adds a unique vertical element to any landscape, making it an ideal choice for borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, or as a striking container feature. The Orange Rocket is resilient in USDA Zones 5-9 and embraces dormancy in winter, preparing to dazzle once more with the return of spring. For peak vibrancy and growth, position it in full sun to slight shade. This barberry is adaptable to most soil types, prioritizing good drainage for optimal health. In its first growing season, water 2-3 times a week to establish roots, transitioning to a remarkably drought-tolerant nature thereafter. A balanced fertilizer in early spring encourages lush foliage and healthy growth. Included in this offer are two 2 Gallon Orange Rocket Barberry shrubs, each securely housed in plastic pots with soil. The pots are wrapped in a poly bag to ensure moisture retention and soil stability during transit. They're shipped in a specially designed cardboard box to prevent any damage, ready for immediate unboxing, unbagging, and watering upon arrival. Shipped from the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we advise those living outside the Southeast to opt for spring or fall delivery, avoiding the extremes of heat or cold. Note that in winter (November to March), the Orange Rocket will arrive dormant, poised to awaken and enrich your garden with its fiery foliage in the spring.
