Green Carpet Berberis are excellent garden shrubs for providing colour and texture interest to beds, borders, and garden pots. Also known as Japanese Barberry, these outdoor plants adorn the spring garden with lush green foliage decorated with red-tinged yellow single flowers from April to May. The foliage deepens in colour throughout the season, turning dramatic shades of crimson and orange as the red berries emerge from late summer into autumn. These hardy shrubs are easy to grow and demand very little maintenance to look their best. Water thoroughly after planting and once a week until well-established, after which they only need to be watered during particularly dry spells. Lightly prune after flowering to tidy the shrub and maintain its size and shape. Berberis plants are bursting with nectar and pollen, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators into the garden. They are versatile garden plants, suitable for growing as background plants in beds and borders or feature plants in pots and containers. They are also ideal for using as hedging or screening plants.
