'Orange Glow' is a large sturdy evergreen Pyracantha variety that is also referred to as Firethorn. Sporting an upright habit of oblong forest-green leaves that act as a wonderful backdrop; clusters of showy white flowers blossom in June offering nectar to butterflies and bees. As autumn commences, bright orange berries gather, contrasting against the dark foliage to create quite a feature. The berries also provide much-needed nourishment for birds when other plants begin to fade during the colder winter months. Due to its strong, thorny structure, Pyracantha is an RHS Holder of Award of Garden Merit and is ideal for climbing and screening. We recommend
