Berberis ‘Green Carpet’

Description

Green Carpet Berberis is an excellent garden shrub for providing colour and texture interest to beds, borders, and patio pots. Also known as Japanese Barberry, this Green Carpet variety boasts bright green foliage decorated with yellow, red-tinged single flowers from April to May. The foliage changes colour throughout the season, turning dramatic shades of crimson and orange as the red berries emerge from late summer into autumn.

This hardy shrub is easy to grow and demands very little maintenance to look its best. Water thoroughly after planting and once a week until well-established, after which Berberis 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 adding height and texture to beds and borders or for planting as feature plants in pots and containers. They are also ideal for using as hedging or screening plants.
