Rose Glow Japanese Barberry displays rosy-red foliage on a compact shrub that loves sun. The mottled leaves fill the nearly 5-foot tall shrub with varying shades of red for warm color. In fall and winter, red berries fill in for a little more color before the leaves drop in winter. This is a beautiful and unique shrub to plant for native birds and dramatic foliage. And deer tend to ignore barberry bushes.
Rose Glow Japanese Barberry reaches nearly 4 feet around, growing arched branches in a round shape. It grows slowly, however, so it needs little care. The shrub is hardy in the cold winters of zone 4 but takes heat up to zone 8. Planting several can give you a nice, red hedge or a natural-looking border. Even planting one Rose Glow before green plants in your garden, like boxwood, provides a stunning color contrast.
Rose Glow Japanese Barberry Care
Place Rose Glow Japanese Barberry in full sun for best health and color. The shrub needs regular watering, at least weekly. Give it a little more water in extreme summer heat. The shrub needs little pruning, at most once each spring. If growing Rose Glow shrubs in a formal hedge, you might need to prune to shape a couple of times a year. Add mulch around the base of the barberry to help retain moisture in the soil.
Rose Glow Japanese Barberry Spacing
Enjoy a natural but dramatic red hedge with Rose Glow Japanese Barberry. Place each shrub just under 4 feet apart from center to center to give them room to eventually grow together.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
