Nothing catches the eye quite like the bold, fiery color of Orange Rocket. This award-winning barberry features a narrow, upright form that adds instant structure and color to any landscape. Foliage emerges bright coral-orange, matures to green, and finishes deep ruby red in fall, delivering season-long interest with minimal maintenance.
Most gardeners plant Orange Rocket in front or mid-layer beds, along walkways and entryways, or in rows for a colorful low hedge. It’s also a strong choice for containers, adding height and a clean, architectural look without taking up much space.
