Scarlet Firethorn – Pyracantha coccinea 400 Shrub Seeds | Thorny Hedge Plant | Bright Red Winter Berries Fast Growing • Showy Fruit • Wildlife Friendly

Establish a bold, durable, and eye-catching hedge with Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea). This fast-growing, semi-evergreen to evergreen shrub is valued for its brilliant orange-red berries, spring flower display, and ability to thrive in difficult conditions.

In late spring, dense clusters of small creamy white flowers blanket the shrub, creating a striking floral show. By late summer and fall, vibrant red berries form in tight clusters and persist through winter, providing long-lasting seasonal color and an important food source for birds and wildlife.

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

This rugged shrub tolerates:
• Heat and drought (once established)
• Urban conditions and poor soils
• Wind exposure and heavy pruning
• Cold climates (Zones 5–9)

Perfect for larger landscaping projects, long hedge rows, habitat plantings, and commercial landscape installations.
