Good plant #121 - Pyracantha 'Orange Glow'


This is a gardener's favourite evergreen shrub often used for climbing. It produces masses of white flowers in spring followed by long-lasting bright orange berries from autumn.

If you need to prune to shape, it is best done in late winter/ early spring.

It's a do-er in almost any soil an set against a wall. It will thrive in sunny and part shady sites.

You can take cuttings from late spring through summer.
