Create an impressive evergreen security hedge with immediate height and outstanding seasonal colour with this collection of 6 large Pyracantha ‘Orange Glow’ plants, supplied approximately 3–4ft tall and individually established in substantial 3 litre pots.
Commonly known as Firethorn, Pyracantha ‘Orange Glow’ combines dense evergreen foliage with naturally thorny growth, making it an excellent choice for creating a decorative yet effective security boundary. Clusters of white flowers appear during late spring and early summer, followed by masses of vibrant orange berries that bring spectacular colour through autumn and into winter.
At this established 3–4ft size, these vigorous plants provide an excellent head start and can be grown as a traditional hedge or trained against walls and fences for additional screening and security.

Pyracantha is an outstanding choice for customers wanting a hedge that combines evergreen screening with a natural security deterrent.
Its dense branching structure and thorny growth make it particularly useful for boundaries, fences and planting beneath windows where additional protection is desirable.
‘Orange Glow’ adds another dimension with its brilliant orange berries, creating an attractive garden feature long after many summer-flowering plants have finished.
For a continuous Pyracantha hedge, we recommend approximately 2 plants per metre, depending on the density and speed of coverage required.
A collection of 6 plants can therefore create approximately 3 metres of substantial evergreen hedging when planted at around two plants per metre.
Plants can be positioned slightly further apart where a more economical planting arrangement is preferred and additional time can be allowed for them to grow together.
• Security and defensive hedging
• Garden and property boundaries
• Screening walls and fences
• Planting beneath windows
• Privacy screening
• Wildlife-friendly gardens
• Evergreen garden structure
• Spectacular autumn and winter colour
Pyracantha is adaptable and performs well in full sun or partial shade in most fertile, well-drained garden soils. A sunnier position will generally encourage the strongest flowering and berry display.
Prepare the planting area thoroughly and position each plant at approximately the same depth as it has been growing in its pot. Firm gently and water thoroughly after planting.
Keep regularly watered throughout the first growing season while the roots establish. Once established, Pyracantha is relatively easy to maintain and can be trimmed to control its height, width and overall shape.
