Add Bold Color With Orange Rocket Barberry

Bring bright, changing color to your yard with the Orange Rocket Barberry. This eye-catching shrub starts the season with coral-orange new leaves, shifts to deeper green as the season goes on, and finishes with rich ruby-red color in fall.

Its narrow, upright shape makes it a great choice for small spaces where you want height and color without a wide, bulky shrub. Plant it in garden beds, along foundations, near walkways, or in large outdoor containers for a strong pop of color.

Why You'll Love Orange Rocket Barberry

Color That Changes With the Seasons: New growth starts coral-orange, matures to green, and turns ruby red in fall.

Narrow, Upright Shape: Orange Rocket Barberry grows more up than out, making it useful for tight spaces and smaller landscapes.

Easy to Maintain: Once established, this shrub needs very little care and keeps a naturally tidy shape.

Great for Many Landscape Uses: Use it in borders, foundation beds, mass plantings, mixed shrub beds, or as a colorful focal point.

Works Well in Containers: Its compact form makes it a smart choice for large patio pots, porches, and entryways.

Deer Resistant: Its thorny branches and foliage are less attractive to deer than many other landscape plants.

Bright Foliage From Spring Through Fall

The biggest attraction of Orange Rocket Barberry is its colorful foliage. Fresh spring growth comes in with bright coral and orange tones that stand out from green plants nearby.

As the leaves mature, they may become greener through the growing season. When cooler fall weather arrives, the foliage can turn a bold ruby red, giving your yard another round of seasonal color.

A Space-Saving Shrub With Upright Growth

Orange Rocket Barberry has a naturally narrow and upright growth habit. This makes it especially useful in places where a wider shrub would take up too much room.

Its vertical form can add height and structure beside shorter plants, along a foundation, or inside a mixed garden bed.
