Add year-round structure and a spectacular burst of autumn colour to your garden with Pyracantha 'Red Star', commonly known as Firethorn. This exceptional evergreen shrub is highly versatile, performing brilliantly whether grown as a free-standing specimen, trained against a wall or fence, or planted as a formidable, wildlife-friendly security hedge.
In late spring, 'Red Star' is smothered in clusters of delicate, honey-scented white flowers that are a magnet for bees and pollinators. These blooms give way to a breathtaking display of vivid, berry-red fruits that ripen in late summer and persist well into the winter. Unlike older varieties, 'Red Star' has been bred to have fewer thorns and a more manageable habit, making it a joy to grow while still providing a safe nesting site and vital winter food for garden birds.
Care Instructions:
Pyracantha 'Red Star' is incredibly hardy and easy to grow. It thrives in almost any soil type, provided it is well-drained, and performs best in a position of full sun or partial shade. To maintain its shape or to train it as a climber, prune in late summer after the berries have formed, simply trimming back the new growth to reveal the ripening clusters. If using as a hedge, it can be clipped into a formal shape once a year. Water regularly during the first growing season to ensure it establishes a deep, healthy root system.
