Does Pyracantha grow quickly?

Pyracantha coccinea 'Red Column' is a fast-growing hedge plant, with an average growth rate of up to 50cm per year. These hedges look their best when maintained at a height of between 1 – 3m.

How far apart should Pyracantha be planted?

Plant pyracantha in autumn, during mild spells in winter, or early spring. For growing against walls or fences, plant the rootball 30-40cm away and lean the plant onto its support, to avoid the rain shadow at the base. For hedging, space plants 50cm apart in a single row.
