Aurielle™ Barberry questions
How big does Aurielle Barberry get?
Aurielle™ Barberry grows 1.5-2 ft tall and 2-3 ft wide at maturity.
What zone is Aurielle Barberry hardy in?
Aurielle™ Barberry is hardy in USDA zones 4-8. Light: full sun.
When should I prune Aurielle Barberry?
Barberry needs very little pruning. If you want to shape it or remove dead stems, trim in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Wear gloves, because the stems are thorny.
Why is my Aurielle Barberry losing its color?
Foliage color is strongest in full sun. In too much shade, gold, orange and red barberries fade toward green. Move it to a sunnier spot or thin nearby plants to let in more light.
Is Aurielle Barberry deer resistant?
Yes. Aurielle™ Barberry is generally left alone by deer. When food is scarce, hungry deer may still browse almost any plant, so protect new plantings where deer pressure is heavy.
