Description
Berberis x media 'Red Jewel' is a beautiful thorny bush, compact with small semi-evergreen dark red leaves that turn dark green when mature, and golden yellow spring flowering.
Originally from temperate regions, the Red Jewel Barberry or Berberis forms a compact bush, 2m (6ft 7in) in height, evergreen and thorny. It is characterized by rounded, semi-evergreen, serrated, shiny leaves, 3cm (1.2in) long which are bronze red turning dark green when mature. Its abundant, yellow, spring flowering can be followed by the production of small, blue berries, but this is quite rare.
Berberis x media 'Red Jewel', hardy down to -15°C (5°F), grows in any moist, well-drained soil, even chalky, poor or stony, in a sunny position or partial shade in the south. It requires little maintenance, just make sure to keep the soil moist, especially in summer. Prune hedges in spring and September.
Berberis x media 'Red Jewel' is often used as a defensive hedge, combined with species with golden or silver foliage. Beautiful grouped with forsythias and abelias.

Planting and care
Berberis x media 'Red Jewel' is hardy down to -15°C (5°F) and should be planted in spring or autumn, in any moist, well-drained soil, even limestone, poor or rocky in a sunny position or semi-shade far south. Water generously and frequently during the first summers. No need to feed and it requires little maintenance, just make sure to keep the soil moist, especially in summer. For barberry planted in hedges, balance the shape in spring and September. In informal hedges, trim the branches after flowering to give the bush a rounded, balanced shape. Be careful not to touch the branches with bare hands as they have thorns that are difficult to remove once embedded in the skin. It can be attacked by aphids, sawflies, powdery mildew, and rust. Treat at the first signs of symptoms.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
