Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea 'Admiration' (PBR)
barberry
Dazzling red foliage with a narrow yellow edge, puts on a magnificent display from spring to autumn. Useful for creating contrast in the mixed or shrub border, Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea 'Admiration' (PBR) is a low-growing deciduous spiny shrub, producing small pink flowers from late spring or early summer, followed by crimson berries in autumn.
The foliage looks wonderful in 'hot' planting schemes, and it also adds pizzazz to pots. It is tolerant of partial shade, however it is best planted in a sunny spot if you want really vibrant leaf colour, as the foliage will be greener in a shadier setting.

How to care for Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea Admiration (PBR):
Plant Berberis in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It copes well with most soil types, including clay, as long as drainage is good. Space plants with their eventual size in mind and water regularly during dry spells until well established.
For deciduous barberry, cut back robustly, if required, in late winter or early spring to rejuvenate plants or control their size. Easily producing regrowth from older wood, remove any dead, damaged, or congested stems, and thin out what remains to encourage strong new shoots.
