Zone: 5ADMIRATION JAPANESE BARBERRY
Berberis 'Admiration' is an exceptional dwarf barberry that lives up to its name, demanding admiration with its stunning, multi-season appeal. In spring, leaves emerge in a showy shade of crimson, quickly deepening to a rich, glossy burgundy. As the seasons progress, each leaf is outlined by a striking golden-yellow margin, creating a unique contrast that sets this plant apart.
The Admiration Japanese Barberry is tolerant of slightly moist soils as long as they are well-drained - It will not tolerate standing water. Admiration enjoys full to part sun and is ideal for foundation or border plantings. Best color comes in full sun.
It is the perfect choice for adding a pop of dramatic color to borders, rock gardens, or containers.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a pH ranging from slightly acidic to neutral. Select a location in full sun to partial shade, noting that maximum sunlight is required to achieve the most vibrant foliage color throughout the season. This species is highly adaptable and exhibits excellent drought tolerance once established, requiring supplemental water only during extended dry periods. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain size or remove old growth, keeping in mind that heavy gloves are recommended when handling this plant due to its sharp thorns.
