Combining practicality with beauty, Berberis darwinii is a vigorous evergreen shrub that is perfect as a security hedge or informal flowering shrub in the most challenging sites, with the additional bonus of offering plenty of value for wildlife too.

Dense, thorny stems act as a natural deterrent to intruders, whilst also making a popular nesting site for small birds. Small glossy green spiny foliage provides year-round interest whilst in April and May, abundant nodding clusters of rich orange flowers, tinged red in bud, burst into bloom, creating a bright display and providing a valuable nectar source for pollinators. A second flowering may appear in autumn, followed by blue-black berries that attract birds.

With an average growth rate of 20-40cm per year, this upright shrub is easy to maintain at a height of 1-2m. Tough and resilient, it flourishes in all soil types, from heavy clay to shallow chalk and exposed coastal areas. Recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Berberis darwinii is a superb choice for wildlife-friendly, low-maintenance planting in any garden.

Height and spread: 2.5m (8.2ft) – 4m (13ft).

Growing Information

Plant Berberis in full sun or partial shade, on a reliably moist, well-drained soil. Barberry plants are extremely resilient and will grow on many different soil types, except waterlogged.

Live Plants

Suttons 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.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
