Sunjoy Neo® Barberry

Sunjoy Neo® Barberry is a compact, low-maintenance shrub that delivers electric, season-long foliage color without the fuss. Developed by North Carolina State University and selected by Proven Winners, this outstanding barberry emerges in spring with brilliant orange-gold foliage that remains vivid and eye-catching through fall, when it deepens to rich scarlet. At just 2–3 ft. tall and wide, it’s a perfectly proportioned, tidy shrub for borders, edging, and mass plantings.

• Brilliant orange-gold foliage from spring through fall, positively electric in the landscape
• Deepens to rich scarlet in autumn for a stunning two-season color show
• Compact 2–3 ft. rounded habit requires no shaping or heavy pruning
• Deer resistant and exceptionally tough in a wide range of conditions
• Drought tolerant once established; adapts to most soil types

Plant Sunjoy Neo® Barberry in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil, it adapts to both dry and moist growing conditions and is not particular about soil type or pH. It requires little pruning to maintain its naturally tidy form and is tough enough to use as a low hedge, edging plant, or a bold foliage accent in mixed perennial borders. Pair it with blue-flowered perennials or silver ornamental grasses for a stunning color contrast. Order your Sunjoy Neo® Barberry today!
