Why Orange Rocket Barberry Shrubs?
The Orange Rocket Barberry delivers vibrant orange foliage that ages to vivid green and then ruby red in autumn. That means you get months of visual interest from the Barberry’s compact, vigorous silhouette, well-suited to planting almost anywhere.
Use the Orange Rocket in mass plantings, specimen plantings, or even in containers. This Barberry variety is especially versatile, especially since it boasts improved resistance to rust and tolerance to drought, pollution, deer, and dry soil. Nothing stands in the way or the Orange Rocket Barberry and its healthful, voluminous growth.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
The best part? You get all of these benefits without the hassle. Because your Barberry is delivered with a healthier, more developed root system, you'll plant and forget your Barberry...until its unmatched color elevates your curb appeal, that is.

Beautiful colors
Received the southern living orange rocket barberry plant about 3 weeks ago and planted it right away. It was very healthy and have beautiful orange red leaves on top and light green leaves on bottom part of the plant. Although we have heavy rain the last few days, the plant shows no signs of distress. It has grown 1-2” since I planted it. Love the purchase!
Wow! Stunning Addition!
We purchased six of these plants and they will look perfect coupled with our taller mid-green shrubs that front a row of darker color Green Giant Arborvitae. We can tell we will have a beautiful transition of plant heights and colors with the Orange Rockets forming our baseline. They arrived in excellent condition, as have ALL the plants we have ordered from Fast Growing Trees.
