Pyracantha coccinea ‘Red Star’ produces dark and only slightly thorny foliage, all year round. White blooms flower later in the season along with red fruits for a touch of colour. Ideal grown as a standalone shrub or tied to a framework where it can climb. Please note these fruits should not be eaten and can cause stomach upset. Height and spread 3m (10’).
