Berberidaceae
Berberis thunbergii 'Cherry Bomb', also known as Japanese Barberry 'Cherry Bomb', is a compact and very colorful ornamental shrub that catches the eye with its intense purple foliage from spring, a dense and rounded silhouette, and then often decorative berries in autumn that enrich the seasonal palette. Its moderate and harmonious growth makes it an excellent choice for borders, low hedges, colorful beds, or contrasting plantings in residential gardens in Quebec. Very hardy and easy to maintain, it prefers sunny to semi-shady exposure and well-drained soil, and is resistant to urban conditions. Thanks to its foliage that persists for a large part of the season and its controlled vigor, 'Cherry Bomb' combines visual interest, refined texture, and landscape versatility, while perfectly integrating into floral and structural compositions of landscaping.
