Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

Royal Burgundy Barberry Shrubs for Sale Online

An improved selection from Crimson Pygmy with richer burgundy foliage color and small velvety leaves that hold their color through summer, changing to a reddish black in the fall. This variety produces little to no viable seed, making it a great alternative to other barberries.

The 'Royal Burgundy' Barberry is not only striking, it is also easy to care for. This shrub has a rounded growth habit that makes it perfect for planting as a border shrub. Water weekly (or more if in extreme heat or planted in a container) and plant in partial to full sun. Best yet - it doesn't require pruning, only to keep your desired shape!
