Description

Orange is happy. Orange is cheerful. And there's no orange-r barberry than Sunjoy Neo®. Tom Ranney of NCSU brings us this eye-catching, jaw-dropping new selection that is bright and colorful all season, positively electric in spring. Dense, semi-dwarf habit makes it an ideal selection for landscape or garden beds.

Sunjoy Neo® barberry has been tested under trial code H2007-001-031 and determined to be wheat rust resistant; it has not yet been added to the federal register, however.
