Sunjoy Cinnamon Barberry

Sunjoy Cinnamon™ is the Sunjoy series name for Berberis thunbergii ‘Celeste’, a deciduous barberry selected for dark orange foliage and a compact, freely branching mound. Yellow spring flowers are a secondary feature, while the vivid foliage gives the shrub color through the growing season. ## Form and Garden Use Proven Winners and Spring Meadow Nursery describe a mature shrub about 4–5 feet tall and wide, with USDA hardiness in zones 4–8. Their [Proven Winners cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/berberis/sunjoy-cinnamon-barberry-berberis-thunbergii) identifies ‘Celeste’ and patent PP24586; [Spring Meadow Nursery](https://springmeadownursery.com/plantfinder/sunjoy-cinnamon-03050) confirms the cultivar and its orange foliage. Use the rounded form as a hedge, foundation shrub, or focal point where its spread can be accommodated. ## Placement and Seasonal Interest Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Orange foliage is most vivid in spring and fall, with yellow flowers appearing in spring. Spring Meadow lists USDA zones 4–8 and notes that established plants tolerate dry periods. ## Maintenance Water regularly while the shrub establishes, then during extended dry weather. Prune lightly to maintain the desired outline or remove damaged branches. Wear gloves when handling spiny stems and leave clearance beside paths.
