Notes

'Sunjoy Really Red' Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii 'Sunjoy Really Red') is a shrub for pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Bees and birds visit it, and it blooms in early to late spring. It sits low on the menu for deer. Its drought tolerance and salt tolerance make it a handy pick for tough spots.

Pairs well with Flowering quince, Black-eyed Susan, and Mountain laurel.
