Scarlet Firethorn 'Lowboy', Egyptian Thorn 'Lowboy', Everlasting Thorn 'Lowboy', Fire Bush 'Lowboy'
Low-growing, Pyracantha coccinea ‘Lowboy’ (Scarlet Firethorn) is a thorny, evergreen shrub of spreading habit with glossy, oval, dark green leaves. From late spring to early summer, a profusion of creamy white flowers in dense clusters cover the arching, spiny branches and contrast nicely against the dark green foliage. They are followed by masses of shiny berries that ripen to bright orange in fall and persist well into winter. Hungry birds feast on them. Versatile, this Scarlet Firethorn cultivar is best planted as a specimen or massed as a vibrant groundcover.
