Berberis thunbergii ‘Orange Ice’ is a stunning, compact variety of Japanese barberry that captivates with its vibrant foliage, which evolves beautifully throughout the year. This shrub boasts an upright and well-branched structure, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, patio containers, or as a low hedge. Its dense growth habit allows it to fit seamlessly into tight spaces while still providing a striking visual impact, ensuring that it remains a focal point in any landscape design.
The foliage of ‘Orange Ice’ begins as a lovely coppery-orange in the spring and summer months, gradually deepening to a brilliant orange before transforming into a fiery red-orange in the autumn. This seasonal color change adds a dynamic element to your garden, creating a stunning display that draws the eye. In addition to its colorful leaves, the plant produces small, bell-shaped yellow flowers in April and May, which are not only charming but also rich in nectar, attracting a variety of pollinating insects. Following the flowering period, the shrub yields red berries that persist into the fall, providing additional interest and sustenance for local wildlife.
Hardy to at least -20 °C, ‘Orange Ice’ thrives across the UK and is adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soils, whether in full sun or partial shade. This resilient shrub requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for busy gardeners. It can tolerate light pruning and is resistant to pollution and coastal conditions, further enhancing its versatility. Additionally, its spiny branches serve a dual purpose: they can deter pests while also providing shelter for various forms of wildlife, making it a valuable addition to any eco-friendly garden. Height: 70 cm (28 in). Spread: 50 cm (20 in)

Live Plants
Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
