Pyracantha Hedge - Pot Grown

Pyracantha / Firethorn

Pyracantha are thorny and prickly and they make the best natural security barrier for gardens or other projects.

• They are manageable and are some of the best berrying shrubs, which is a good way to feed wildlife.
• All varieties of Pyracantha produce masses of small white flowers in early summer followed by long-lasting yellow, orange or red fruits in autumn.

Pyracantha are evergreen or semi-evergreen, with a rigid habit and large spines, and one of the best recommended anti-burglar plants to grow in gardens.

• Pyracantha plants will grow on any soils except boggy ones.
• They are great for walls and fences facing any direction, in sun or shade.
• Pyracantha are not climbers but can be trained against walls or fences if tied, and make a fantastic free-standing shrub or hedge.
