Pyracantha, Red firethorn
Excellent wildlife plant
Good for hedging
Evergreen
Autumn berries
Holds the RHS garden of merit award
Pyracantha the red firethorn which is an excellent evergreen climber as well as good for using as hedging. It produces white flowers in May and June which are followed by bright red berries in late summer. It is an excellent plant for wildlife and grows to around 2m to 3m in height with an upright habit and then later as it gets established it will spread and thicken out into a thorny dense bush or climber. Good for sun or light shade in any garden soil. Plant supplied at appox 30cms in height in a 9cm pot.
