Description

Electric orange foliage sets Sunjoy Neo™ barberry apart from its fellow grown-for-foliage friends. Its leaves emerge bright orange in spring and slowly mature by fall to deep orange-red, with bright green at the center. All the while it is consistently dazzling and carefree. Not a finger need be lifted to prune or fix damage wrought by deer or disease, as there won’t be any. Its dwarf habit can be tucked easily into any landscape where it fits in nicely as edging or companion to other shrubs or herbaceous perennials.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
