Red Pyracantha Firethorn hedge (Pyracantha coccinea 'Red Column') description

The highly fragrant, bee-friendly white flowers of Red Firethorn, stand out against the small mid-green foliage of this evergreen hedging plant in May. Once the flowers are gone the branches are smothered in bunches of glossy red berries, which make Pyracantha hedging a great food source for wildlife, such as birds who will also nest within the dense, prickly cover.

Common uses of Red Firethorn hedging

Although not suited to coastal or windy sites Pyracantha coccinea 'Red Column' is very useful. It offers year-round cover and is fast-growing, ideal for screening purposes and provides lovely seasonal interest with berries and flowers. The dense habit of Red Firethorn means that it forms a great shelter for wildlife and a good noise barrier, as well as being an effective intruder proof hedge due to its prickly thorns. A Red Pyracantha Firethorn hedge is perfect for garden, formal, natural and landscape hedging, as it is easy to maintain and looks good when trimmed tightly or left a little bushy.

Combine Pyracantha coccinea 'Red Column' with

Try combining your Red Pyracantha Firethorn hedge with other Pyracantha hedging plants, such as Orange and Yellow berried varieties for a colourful display. Red Firethorn also works well when planted alone, giving your garden a lasting burst of colour and interest.

Growth rate of Red Pyracantha hedging

Pyracantha coccinea 'Red Column' is a fast-growing hedge plant, with an expected growth of 50cm a year. These hedges look best when maintained to a height of between 1 - 3 metres.
