Bagatelle Berberis is an excellent garden shrub for providing colour and texture interest to beds, borders, and patio pots. Also known as Japanese Barberry, this Bagatelle variety boasts bronze tinged red-purple foliage decorated with pale yellow single flowers from April to May. The foliage deepens in colour throughout the season, becoming more dramatic 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 neat, rounded 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.
