Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

A Firethorn with no thorns! Pyracantha ‘Orange Star’ has all the best assets of other pyracanthas, but without the vicious thorns that can make pruning a challenge.

In early summer this tough and versatile evergreen is covered in small white flowers that are attractive to pollinators. The flowers are followed in autumn by masses of large orange berries that persist into winter, providing colour through the dullest months. Pyracantha ‘Orange Star’ works especially well as a wall shrub where the berries can be displayed to their best advantage. It is also suitable for growing as a flowering and fruiting hedge, providing cover for birds and food for foraging insects. This resilient shrub tolerates challenging conditions including exposed sites. Height and spread 3m (10ft).

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.

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
