Pyracantha ‘Saphyr Rouge’, commonly known as Firethorn, is a fantastic hedging option. The shrub is upright in habit, creating a dense screen with spikey stems that is a great natural intruder deterrent. Offering year-round interest, its glossy leaves are evergreen and are joined by an abundance of fragrant white flowers every spring, which last into summer. The fragrant blooms are attractive to bees and other pollinators are and followed by bright orange-red berries. The fruits last from autumn into winter and provide food for local birds. The Firethorn is low maintenance and easy to grow.
