Barberry Sunjoy Gold Pillar®

When you need a vertical accent that glows, Sunjoy Gold Pillar® Barberry delivers. This striking Proven Winners® selection grows in a tight, narrow column of brilliant golden-yellow foliage that lights up the landscape from spring through fall. Unlike spreading barberries, its upright habit makes it perfect for tight spaces, formal hedges, and anywhere you need height without width.

The foliage holds its vivid gold color all season in full sun — no fading, no browning — and transitions to warm orange-red tones in fall before the leaves drop. Add in the classic barberry toughness — deer resistant, drought tolerant, adaptable to a wide range of soils — and you have a low-maintenance showstopper that earns its keep year after year.
