Berberis thunbergii ‘Helmond Pillar’ is a fast-growing, columnar barberry known for its dense, slender form and deep red to burgundy foliage that holds vibrant color throughout the growing season. Its upright habit makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, formal hedges, or vertical accents in mixed beds. In fall, the foliage often intensifies in color, adding seasonal interest. This barberry is hardy, adaptable to many soil types, and tolerant of drought once established. Deer typically avoid it, and minimal maintenance is required to keep its tidy shape.
