We always notice a happy smile on our customers’ faces when we show them a plant that is beautiful and maintenance-free at the same time. This is the case of fernleaf buckthorn – a gorgeous shrub that requires zero care from the minute you plant it.

It has very narrow, fern-like, linear, deciduous leaves of mid green colour, 10-12 cm long. They are finely serrated at margins, and change to bright yellow in autumn. It looks great planted as a specimen or as a part of a Japanese style garden. It withstands any sort of pruning, shaping or clipping but in my opinion it looks best in its natural habit.

It is somewhat slow growing and for the fastest growth we suggest planting it into moist, humus rich, slightly acidic soil, in either full sun or part shade. It is so hardy it can be grown as a pot plant outdoors on a patio or balcony. Fully hardy to USDA zone 3: approx. -40°C.
