Yellow Pyracantha Hedge

Pyracantha 'Soleil d'Or'

Yellow Pyracantha 'Soleil d'Or' is a spreading, evergreen firethorn with arching branches, white early-summer flowers and golden yellow berries that last well into winter.

Birds tend to take red and orange berries first, so the yellow fruit often stays on the hedge for longer. It grows around 30–60cm a year into a thorny hedge of 1.5–2.5m. Supplied pot grown from 60cm to 150cm, with the smaller sizes on a trellis.

Choosing your Pyracantha plants

Trellis plants are the quickest way to cover a wall or fence; bushy plants make the best freestanding hedge.

These are single-row figures. All sizes are pot grown, so they can be planted at almost any time of year.

Why plant a Yellow Pyracantha hedge?

Colour that lasts

'Soleil d'Or' carries heavy clusters of golden berries from autumn. Because birds usually prefer red and orange fruit, the yellow berries tend to stay on longer, keeping the hedge bright well into winter.

A softer, spreading shape

Its arching branches give a slightly lower, more relaxed hedge than the other varieties. Mixed with red or orange Pyracantha, it makes a colourful, thorny boundary.

The three Pyracantha varieties compared

	Orange Glow	Red Column	Soleil d'Or
Berries	Bright orange	Glossy red	Golden yellow
Habit	Vigorous and bushy	Upright and narrow	Spreading and arching
Best for	Dense security hedges	Narrow hedges and walls	Long-lasting winter colour

Compare the others: Orange Pyracantha 'Orange Glow' and Red Pyracantha 'Red Column'.

Choosing the right hedge

Is Yellow Pyracantha 'Soleil d'Or' right for you?

A great choice if you want:

Golden berries that last into winter
A spreading, thorny evergreen hedge
Mixing with red or orange Pyracantha
Walls and fences (trellis sizes)

Consider another hedge if:

You need a very narrow, upright hedge (choose Red Column)
The hedge runs beside a path or play area
You want a soft, thornless hedge

Buying help

Buying FAQs

What size Yellow Pyracantha should I buy?

The 60–100cm trellis plants at 3 per metre are the best value and ideal against walls and fences. Choose 125–150cm bushy plants at 2 per metre for a freestanding hedge with more height straight away.

How many Pyracantha plants do I need per metre?

Plant 60–100cm Pyracantha at 3 per metre and 125–150cm plants at 2 per metre in a single row. The exact figure is shown against each size, and the calculator works out the total from your hedge length.

Can I buy bare-root Pyracantha?

We supply Pyracantha pot grown only. It dislikes root disturbance, so pot-grown plants establish more reliably and can be planted at almost any time of year.

Can I mix yellow and red Pyracantha in one hedge?

Yes. Alternating Yellow, Red and Orange Pyracantha makes a striking multi-coloured hedge. Plant them at the same spacing so the hedge grows evenly.

How fast does Pyracantha grow?

Once established, Pyracantha typically grows 30–60cm a year, so a hedge planted at 60–80cm can reach 1.5–2m within three or four years.

Are Pyracantha berries poisonous?

The berries are only mildly toxic and are unlikely to cause more than a stomach upset if eaten, but the thorns are the bigger hazard. Avoid planting it right beside paths or children's play areas.
