Scarlet Firethorn – Pyracantha coccinea 200 Shrub Seeds | Thorny Hedge Plant | Bright Red Winter Berries Fast Growing • Showy Fruit • Wildlife Friendly

Plant a bold, durable, and beautiful hedge with Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea). This fast-growing, semi-evergreen to evergreen shrub is treasured for its spectacular fall and winter display of bright orange-red berries and its ability to thrive in challenging conditions.

In late spring, dense clusters of small creamy white flowers cover the shrub, creating a dramatic floral display. By late summer and fall, brilliant red berries develop in tight clusters and persist through winter, providing long-lasting color and valuable food for birds and wildlife.

Scarlet Firethorn grows 10–18 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, thorny shrub perfect for privacy hedges, property borders, security screens, and wildlife habitat. Its sharp spines create a natural barrier, while its flexible branches make it suitable for espalier, trellis training, or even bonsai.

This adaptable shrub tolerates:
• Heat and drought (once established)

• Wind and heavy pruning
• Cold climates (Zones 5–9)

Ideal for larger hedge projects, landscaping plantings, property screens, and wildlife-friendly gardens.
