Orange Rocket Barberry adds both structure and color to the year-round landscape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Berberis are extremely easy care plants in our Pacific Northwest climate;
|
|
|
|
|
|
they are tolerant of salt and pollution, need minimal supplemental watering, and look better unpruned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Orange Rocket has a unique shape getting 4-5’ tall and only 2-3’ wide,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so acts as colorful exclamation mark in the garden.

The new leaves emerge coral, remain orange in summer, and turn bright red in fall.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shaded, inner leaves are a brilliant lime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Orange rocket also makes a stunning thriller plant in a pot,
|
|
|
|
|
|
for those that don’t like to replant annuals every year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our orange rockets are in bloom right now with their small yellow flowers,

and also add interest in the winter with their spiny stems and bright red berries.
