Create an attractive evergreen security hedge with spectacular seasonal colour with this collection of 6 large Pyracantha ‘Soleil d’Or’ plants, supplied approximately 2–3ft tall and individually established in substantial 3 litre pots.
Commonly known as Firethorn, Pyracantha ‘Soleil d’Or’ combines dense evergreen foliage with naturally thorny growth, making it an excellent choice for creating a decorative yet effective security boundary. Clusters of small white flowers appear during late spring and early summer, followed by an abundance of bright golden-yellow berries that provide outstanding colour through autumn and into winter.
Strong, vigorous and versatile, these established plants can be grown as a traditional hedge or trained against walls and fences for additional screening and security.

Pyracantha is one of the best choices for creating a boundary that combines attractive planting with a natural security deterrent.
Its dense branching structure and thorny growth make it particularly useful along boundaries, against fences or beneath windows where additional protection is desirable.
‘Soleil d’Or’ brings the added benefit of brilliant yellow berries, creating a colourful feature at a time when many other garden plants have finished flowering.
For a continuous Pyracantha hedge, we recommend approximately 2 plants per metre, depending on the density and speed of coverage required.
A collection of 6 plants can therefore create approximately 3 metres of established hedging when planted at around two plants per metre.
Plants can be positioned slightly further apart where a more economical planting arrangement is preferred and additional time can be allowed for them to grow together.
• Security and defensive hedging
• Garden and property boundaries
• Screening walls and fences
• Planting beneath windows
• Privacy screening
• Wildlife-friendly gardens
• Evergreen garden structure
• Bright autumn and winter colour
Pyracantha is adaptable and performs well in full sun or partial shade in most fertile, well-drained garden soils. A sunnier position will generally encourage the strongest flowering and berry display.
Prepare the planting area thoroughly and position each plant at approximately the same depth as it has been growing in its pot. Firm gently and water thoroughly after planting.
Keep regularly watered throughout the first growing season while the roots establish. Once established, Pyracantha is relatively easy to maintain and can be trimmed to control its height, width and overall shape.
