Barberry Sunjoy Neo®

Meet the barberry that does it all in a tidy, manageable size. Sunjoy Neo® Barberry is a Proven Winners® selection bred for rich, consistent burgundy-red foliage, a naturally compact and rounded habit, and the same iron-tough constitution that makes barberries a landscape staple. No staking, no shearing, no fuss — just season-long color that holds from spring through fall.

Neo® sits in a sweet spot between the ultra-dwarf Mini Maroon and larger barberry varieties, making it ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and mass plantings where you want bold color without overpowering the space. Its dense, thorny habit also makes it a natural deterrent for deer and unwanted foot traffic.
