Flowering Period

One of the best yellow-leaved Berberis, the golden foliage of Berberis thunbergii 'Maria' forms a lively contrast to darker leaved shrubs and is less subject to greening than other varieties, retaining its glorious colour all season before blazing orange-red in autumn. Berberis thunbergii 'Maria' forms an upright, columnar shrub clothed in small oval leaves which emerge red in spring before turning bright gold. The yellow flowers in March and April are fairly inconspicuous, but rich in nectar, attracting plenty of pollinating insects to the garden, whilst birds enjoy its dense, thorny cover, making it a useful shrub for attracting wildlife. Robust, hardy and low maintenance, it’s ideal for providing bright foliage colour in small gardens and containers. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 100-150 cm (48-72"). Spread: 50-100cm (20-48in).

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
