Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Bright golden-yellow leaves provide a pool of dazzling sunshine even on gloomy days followed by rich shades of purple, orange and bronze in autumn. The yellow flowers in March and April are fairly inconspicuous, but rich in nectar, attracting plenty of pollinating insects to the garden, whilst birds enjoy its dense, thorny cover, making it a useful shrub for attracting wildlife. A compact, rounded shrub, Berberis thunbergii 'Summer Sunset' is perfect for providing bright foliage colour and changing seasonal interest in small gardens and containers.Height and spread: 40 - 60 cm (2 ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Plant Berberis in full sun or partial shade, on a reliably moist, well-drained soil. Barberry plants are extremely resilient and will grow on many different soil types, except waterlogged.
Berberis require little maintenance once established. Trim back the stems lightly after flowering, removing dead or damaged growth at the same time.
