Pot Grown Barberry Rose Glow
(Berberis thunbergii 'Rose Glow')

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.

When the Berberis thunbergii ‰ۡÌÝÌáRose Glow‰ۡó» is a healthy and new plant, the foliage is initially purple, but goes on to develop into cream, silver and pink variegation that lasts all summer long until Autumn makes the foliage turn shades of red before dropping off.

In Spring, the small yellow flowers, tinged with red, turn into vivid red berries in the Autumn, which are always a welcomed treat to the birds. It is also perfect as an intruder deterrent hedge due to its prickly nature.

Being a wonderful compact hedge, the Barberry Rose Glow will grow about 25cm per year and is somewhat easy to maintain, making it the perfect plant to brighten up any garden.

The Barberry Rose Glow will grow well in most soils, even the poorest, and will tolerate pretty much any site (except full shade, and very wet).

• Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
• Ideal height: 1.2m-2.5m Medium
• Soil Type: Normal
• Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
• Aspect: Semi-shade, Sun
• Evergreen foliage? No

As it is Pot Grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don‰ۡó»t leave it for too long, however, as you don‰ۡó»t want the roots becoming root bound. ̴Ì?

Your Berberis thunbergii ‰ۡÌÝÌáRose Glow‰ۡó» will only need a trim after the flowering season is over. We also recommend you pruning the hedge annually around the Autumn/Winter months, as this will help encourage better variegation on the foliage in the following year.

1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand at the base of the stem, and another at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be rather clumped together.
4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.
