Berberis thunbergii 'Rose Glow' Hedging Plants Description
The young foliage of Berberis thunbergii 'Rose Glow', held on arching branches, is initially purple, then developing pink, cream and silver variegation which last all summer before the autumn foliage turns glowing red before dropping (both are deciduous).
They have small pale yellow flowers (tinged red) in late Spring and bright red berries in Autumn. The variegation is improved by pruning annually in autumn/winter. These grow by about 25cm pa. Both of these varieties of Berberis are good in poor soils, and will do well in most sites other than very wet and full shade. You can see more information on Berberis hedging plants in our ultimate guide.
For another colourful variety of Berberis, try Berberis Admiration for its coral leaves with yellow margins. Plant Barberry Rose Glow and Harlequin (Berberis thunbergii 'Rose Glow') with a number of colourful plants from our evergreen hedging plants section and get a feature full of year round interest.

Choose Barberry Rose Glow Hedge root types
What are root types?
Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
