With pretty, white flowers in June and July, your Pyracantha coccinea ‘Orange Star’ is a fabulous way to pull in the pollinators – who will pop from flower-to-flower gorging on the nectar. Later, in autumn, small orange berries are also borne ‘en masse’ and offer valuable sustenance to birds and other wildlife as well as adding fantastic vibrancy to your planting. Pyracantha coccinea ‘Orange Star’ is a new variety and part of the ‘Star’ series which are known for having less thorns than many other cultivars. This one is the first of its kind to be thornless, a terrific breakthrough in the breeding program. Branches form an intertwined network, making this free-standing shrub ideal for training up a wall, planting in a focal spot or even growing as an impenetrable hedge. Pyracantha coccinea ‘Orange Star’ grows to a mature height of 3 metres and spread around 2 metres. A fully hardy (H7), evergreen shrub which does not need additional winter protection throughout the UK. Prefers fertile, moist and well-drained soil which is not acidic in pH. Position in sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing.
