Plus, it stands up to drought and pesky deer with ease. Resisting tough conditions, rust, rabbits, and more, the Admiration Barberry keeps on growing without guesswork or fuss from you.
Planting
Dig a hole large enough to accommodate your Admiration’s root ball, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots. Generally, the Crimson Pygmy prefers well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of sunlight).
Watering
Let your soil dry to the touch down to about 2 inches in between waterings. Once your soil is dry, give your Admiration Barberry a deep watering at the base.
Fertilizing
Fertilize your Barberry at the beginning of every spring with a well-balanced blend and follow label instructions for best results.
