Arching pink stems carry green leaves that develop pink and white marbelling, which is more pronounced when the plant is grown in a sunny spot. In autumn, this colouring intensifies and the leaves of Berberis thunbergii Starburst develop a bright red hue before they fall.
The clusters of soft yellow flowers in late spring and early summer, followed by red autumn berries are an added bonus.

Plant Berberis in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It copes well with most soil types, including clay, as long as drainage is good. Space plants with their eventual size in mind and water regularly during dry spells until well established.
For deciduous barberry, cut back robustly, if required, in late winter or early spring to rejuvenate plants or control their size. Easily producing regrowth from older wood, remove any dead, damaged, or congested stems, and thin out what remains to encourage strong new shoots.
