As the days get shorter and the air grows crisp, it’s time for our October Plant of the Month at Love Plants – the stunning Pyracantha, commonly known as Fire Thorn. This hardy evergreen shrub offers year-round interest and is perfect for creating a quick, dense hedge that also adds a splash of vibrant colour to your garden this autumn.
Pyracantha is renowned for its fast-growing nature, making it an ideal choice for those looking to establish a robust hedge or garden boundary quickly. In spring, it delights with clusters of delicate white flowers, providing an early burst of beauty. However, it truly comes into its own in autumn, when its berries transform into bright displays of red, orange, or yellow, creating a striking contrast against its rich green foliage.
These colourful berries are not only eye-catching but also a great source of food for birds, adding extra life to your garden as wildlife flocks to enjoy this seasonal feast.
At Love Plants, we have a range of Pyracantha varieties available, so whether you’re after the fiery red hues of Pyracantha ‘Red Column,’ the bold orange of ‘Orange Glow,’ or the sunny yellow of ‘Soleil d’Or,’ we’ve got something to suit every garden style.
Don’t miss out on adding this beautiful, easy-to-grow shrub to your garden this autumn. Visit Love Plants at Salop Leisure in Shrewsbury and browse our full selection of Pyracantha varieties in stock. Our expert team is on hand to offer advice on planting, care, and how to make the most of these stunning shrubs in your garden.
Make your garden a vibrant autumn paradise with Pyracantha – we look forward to seeing you soon. And don’t forget about our many facilities – have a coffee or just relax.
