Description / Berberis Sunjoy Fast Neo® Barberry
Berberis Sunjoy Fast Neo® Barberry delivers vibrant three season color with unmatched resilience and minimal upkeep. This fast growing barberry, developed by Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at North Carolina State University, offers a bold mound of red orange foliage that intensifies through spring, summer, and fall. Its dense branching and tidy form make it an exceptional choice for hedging, borders, or adding structure and contrast to mixed beds.
Reaching 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, Sunjoy Fast Neo® has a faster growth rate than traditional barberries, filling space efficiently without becoming unruly. The vivid foliage color remains striking without fading, especially in full sun. Deciduous and compact, it brings reliable color and form from early spring to frost.
This barberry is deer resistant, drought tolerant, and thrives in a range of soils including clay and alkaline types. Its tolerance of heat and dry conditions makes it an ideal solution for low maintenance landscapes, xeriscaping, and areas where watering may be limited. With its high visual impact and easy care needs, Sunjoy Fast Neo® is a standout performer in both residential and commercial plantings.
Part of the Proven Winners® Color Choice® Flowering Shrubs line, this barberry offers performance, adaptability, and bold garden color with very little effort.
