Firethorn 'Saphyr Orange'

Pyracantha is an evergreen, thorny shrub, also known as Firethorn. Useful as a hedging plant it has white flowers in Spring, followed by very colourful berries - yellow, orange or red - that give the shrub its common name of Firethorn. The berries provide colour all through Winter - if not eaten by birds! 'Saphyr Orange' has white flowers in late Spring / early Summer, and bright orange berries from early Autumn.
