Growing to only 70cm high and wide, Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea 'Nana' is a dwarf form of this popular shrub with red-purple oval leaves which turn a brighter shade of red in the autumn when it bears small berries. The pale yellow red tinged flowers attract pollinators. .

Grow Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea 'Nana' in a sunny position to encourage fruiting and good autumn colour. Plant Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea 'Nana' in containers, at the front of the border or as a low hedge. Combines well with silver foliage shrubs such as Convolvulus cneorum.

Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist.

Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.

Water shrubs regularly in the first year after planting and in dry periods
