What zone is Concorde Barberry hardy in?

When does Concorde Barberry bloom?

When should I prune Concorde 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 Concorde 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 Concorde Barberry deer resistant?
