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.
About Southern Living®: The Southern Living® Plant Collection was created to bring gardeners plants that truly thrive in real-world landscapes. Each variety is carefully selected and rigorously tested to ensure it performs beautifully—especially in challenging Southern conditions like heat and humidity. Since its introduction in 2008, the collection has focused on offering reliable, solution-driven plants with outstanding color, form, and durability, so you can garden with confidence and enjoy lasting results.

Healthy Shrub
Wide variety of species, and information to determine the best selection for your group zone and needs. I received a 5 gallon Rocket Barberry shrub. The shrub was size as ordered, healthy looking no dried out leaves or branches, root bulb in healthy moist soil and packet in burlap. It did not come with planting instructions but easy enough to find that info online. 10 days later still looking as healthy as it did when it arrived. Will definitely purchase from this company.
Small
These are very small plants. It made it easy to dig to get them in the soil but a long time until they look like the pictures. We needed to water them regularly for about 2 months.
Orange Rockets
These plants arrived quickly and in beautiful shape
