Berberis thunbergii 'Cherry Bomb'

Berberis thunbergii ‘Cherry Bomb’, commonly known as Japanese Barberry ‘Cherry Bomb’, is a compact, eye-catching shrub prized for its rich purple-red foliage that holds its colour from spring through fall. Its naturally dense, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for borders, low hedges, and adding contrast in mixed garden beds. In autumn, small decorative berries add extra seasonal interest and visual texture. Exceptionally hardy and low maintenance, this shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of well-drained soils, including urban environments. With its vibrant colour, tidy growth habit, and reliable performance, ‘Cherry Bomb’ is a versatile addition to both modern and traditional landscapes.
