Description
Barberry Royal Burgundy is a beautiful, compact shrub prized for its rich, burgundy-purple foliage and tidy, rounded shape. This textural standout delivers bold color from spring through fall, holding its deep tones even in full sun. In fall, its foliage takes on a lovely, deeper hue, adding seasonal interest before leaf drop. The dense, polished form makes it a gorgeous option for borders, low hedges, or accent plantings, especially where contrast and structure are needed. Tiny yellow flowers appear in spring but are not the main feature; the foliage is the star.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except during extended dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears to maintain shape

With its bold foliage, compact size, and textural presence, Barberry Royal Burgundy is a polished, low-maintenance shrub that adds satisfying structure and color to the landscape throughout the growing season.
