Description
Pyracantha 'Orange Glow' is a striking evergreen shrub that’s gifted with many names. You might also know it as Orange Firethorn, Orange Berries, or Orange Pyracantha because of its spectacular displays of vivid berries that appear from autumn into winter. In late spring, the shrub is adorned with creamy-white, fragrant flowers that transform into these vibrant berries, offering a feast for the eyes and the local wildlife. Orange Pyracantha’s fruits provide essential food for birds in the colder months, while also attracting a plethora of insects and pollinators to your garden.
Growing at a rate of approximately 50cm per year, 'Orange Glow' is fast-growing yet manageable. It’s hardy and tough, making it an excellent choice for creating vibrant, low-maintenance hedges that add colour and character to any landscape.
It thrives in most soil types and is tolerant of sun or partial shade, although it’s not recommended for very windy sites or dense shade. Its network of spiny, armoured stems makes it a fantastic intruder-proof hedge and provides a secure nesting site for small birds.

Pruning Advice
The best time to prune Pyracantha 'Orange Glow' is just after the flowering period in late spring, as you’ll be able to cut back the stems that aren’t producing to give them a helping hand and encourage new growth the following year. Lightly trim the outermost stems to maintain Pyracantha Orange Berries’ appearance, but also keep an eye out for any older stems coming from the centre and trim a few (but not all) to help improve air circulation and prevent diseases.
If your Orange Firethorn has become overgrown or unruly, it can withstand a hard prune, which can be done anytime between March and October. While it may take some time to regain its full splendour, this resilient shrub will bounce back.
