Description
Firethorn may sound a bit intense, but this Pyracantha coccinea variety ‘Red Star’ has less thorns amongst its stems than others. The foliage remains dark in all seasons, which makes a stunning backdrop for the white blooms and red fruits later in the season. They can be grown as a standalone shrub and can also be planted up and tied to a strong framework and grown as a climber. Please note these fruits should not be eaten and can cause stomach upset. Height and spread 3m (10’).

How to Grow
Grow Pyracantha plants as free-standing shrubs train as a hedge, or grow against a wall or fence. Plant Firethorn into any well drained, reliably moist soil in sun or semi shade. Choose a position with shelter from cold, drying winds.
More Info
Feed and water Pyracantha plants regularly until full established. Prune free-standing shrubs in early spring, removing damaged and poorly positioned shoots. For wall trained shrubs, tie in main shoots to form part of the permanent framework, and cut back
Caution

Caution: harmful if eaten
