Crimson Pygmy Barberry Planting Directions
Dramatic Red Landscaping Shrub!

  • Super easy to grow
  • Drought tolerant
  • No pests or diseases
  • Full sun to part shade
  • Adapts to most soils and climates
A gem of a landscaping design plant! Crimson Pygmy Barberry will also work really well in your flower garden. This is a landscape designer’s favorite shrub offering an excellent dark red accent for a multitude of ornamental uses. You don’t need flowers with this handsome plant; the leaves are its best feature. For best color, give it full sun but it will tolerate light to partial shade.

Crimson Pygmy Barberry is a low maintenance shrub. Once established, this lovely dwarf landscape plant is very drought tolerant. Don’t worry about pest or disease issues either; the bush is highly resistant of both. This means no icky chemicals are needed to keep that beautiful dark blood red foliage in prime form. You will have yellow flowers in spring, but they are tiny and nowhere near as exciting as that deep red leafy personality. Purple black berries follow the flowers, turning red in winter, providing a source of food for your wild birds.

No shearing needed. This compact, thickly leaved landscape winner will be thickly branched and packed with those dramatic leaves naturally. Crimson Pygmy Barberry falls into the ‘dwarf’ category of landscaping bushes; it will never take over your window sill or become dangerous as a driveway hedge. You will always enjoy excellent behavior and great visual appeal with this petite plant that will add a dramatic accent against green shrubs and flowering plants in any spot in your yard. In the warmer areas of the country, Crimson Pygmy will be evergreen but deciduous in the north.

Crimson Pygmy Barberry is perfect for today’s smaller yards. That difficult skinny bed between the front walk and wall of your house will have a lovely landscaping solution. Crimson Pygmy Barberry only grows to 2 feet across at most. Be sure to give it good drainage. Plant an artistic row at the front of your foundation planting or use them as a single accent. Pair this burgundy bush with Autumn Debutante Azalea and Kobold Liatris and enjoy the color show all season long.

For easy to grow shrubs you will want to get developed root systems. At Brighter Blooms you will never receive a twig of a plant. We want you to be able to plant your Crimson Pygmy Barberry bushes and watch them grow without a bunch of fuss. For instant impact, plant these great little shrubs in groups of 3 or more.
