The Orange Rocket Barberry bush boasts a distinctive and award-winning palette of colors throughout the seasons. In spring, its foliage emerges in a stunning coral-orange hue, gradually transitioning to purple and eventually adopting a lush green for the summer months. Come fall, the deciduous leaves take on a vibrant ruby red that enlivens any landscape. Additionally, each leaf cluster of these Barberry bushes features small, thorn-like spiny branches which, in autumn, yield crimson red berries, providing a treat for local birds. Not only aesthetically pleasing, the Orange Rocket Barberry also offers the practical benefits of being drought-tolerant and highly resistant to disease. Characterized by its columnar growth habit, it typically reaches a manageable size of 1.5-2.5 ft. in Width and 3-4 ft. in Height.

Whether placed as a stand-alone specimen or nestled among other plants, the dazzling foliage of the Orange Rocket Barberry is sure to captivate and brighten your outdoor space.

Aptly named for its vivid fall color, the Burning Bush shrub undergoes one of the most dramatic transformations seen in any landscape as autumn sets in. The foliage starts off a light green in spring, which begins to turn red in summer, and finally becomes a brilliant shade of scarlet that remains for the duration of autumn. This dwarfing shrub is both clean and low maintenance, attaining a low symmetrically globe-shaped form with no pruning required. The Dwarf Burning Bush reaches an equal height and width of 4 ft. to 6 ft. and lives most comfortably in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 3-9, allowing this beautiful shrub to grow almost anywhere in the United States.

The Red Diamond Loropetalum is another tremendous evergreen shrub from the Southern Living Plant Collection. The Red Diamond Loropetalum produces candy red blooms in early spring. These are truly the reddest blooms of all loropetalum cultivars, and they contrast beautifully with their dark foliage. Watch these blossoms engulf the shrub, completely changing its appearance during the bloom cycle. After the considerable initial bloom, this loropetalum will periodically rebloom from early summer to fall. Meanwhile, the purple and burgundy leaves hold their color all year long, providing dynamic color in any landscape. New growth emerges in spring as a soft purple before maturing to dark purple to burgundy. The Red Diamond Loropetalum reaches a mature size of 6 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide. Therefore, this variety won't engulf its surroundings like some other Loropetalums. Additionally, this naturally compact growth habit ensures that pruning is optional or infrequent. Use this low-maintenance shrub as a hedge, container, accent, or mass planting.
