Thunberg's barberry. Seeds.

Barberry combines all the qualities that make it worth planting in your garden.

Barberries have undemanding growing conditions.

Barberries are grown in a dry, sunny place.

Barberries will look especially attractive if planted against a brick wall or in front of a fence, and the bushes can also be used to create a hedge, which will be a fairly practical solution due to their compactness. You can combine barberries in a bed with rose plants, which will contrast beautifully against the background of the barberry's lush leaves.

Well-drained, permeable soil is suitable for growing barberries, which can be both acidic and alkaline, but the plant can also grow in calcareous soil. You just need to be careful not to place it too wet, as this can interfere with the successful development of the plant.

Barberry grows up to 2 m. The seedlings may give rise to a new variety, which may be the only ones in your garden.

Yellow flowers bloom in late May-early June. Later, green berries form in their place, which acquire an intense red color in autumn and often persist throughout the winter, visually contrasting with white snow.

Before sowing in spring, stratification should last 2-5 months at a temperature equal to 2-5 ° C. The soil must be sifted, the planting site must be open and sufficiently lit. It is not necessary to cover the pots with a film.

After the appearance of 2 leaves, the seedlings must be thinned out, maintaining a distance of at least 3 cm.

Seeds are sown in a pot in early April. It is important to maintain light humidity.
