Brand: Emerald Goddess Gardens

Color: Red, White, Green

Features:

• A dense, thorny, evergreen shrub, widely known as Scarlet Firethorn. It is a classic choice for hedges and screens, valued for its abundant clusters of white flowers in spring and brilliant red-orange berries in the fall and winter. It is native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor.
• This species typically grows 6 to 12 feet tall and wide, forming a spreading, multi-stemmed shrub. The stems are covered in sharp thorns. The leaves are small, glossy, dark green, and oval-shaped. In late spring, it produces a profusion of small white flowers. The most notable feature is the spectacular display of bright red-orange berries, which persist through the winter, providing food for birds.
• Care: This plant is very tough and adaptable. It prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. It is not particular about soil type as long as it is well-drained. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and generally low-maintenance, though it can be prone to scab, which can be managed by selecting a resistant cultivar.
• Indoor growing: Due to its thorny nature and large size, it is not a typical houseplant. However, it is an excellent candidate for bonsai or a large container on a patio or balcony where it can be heavily pruned and shaped.
• Climate: Pyracantha coccinea It is quite cold-hardy and suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 6-9.
