...or a different plant you would recommend? I'd like to choose a shrub that grows to about 8 foot tall, which has autumn interest, eg, berries.
(I imagine there's a variegated pyracantha, with prettier foliage, do you know of that variety? It doesn't thing, if not) The position will be free standing, the tallest shrub at the back of a border by a window surrounded by a small English south facing garden. I think there's a variety call "Column" , which might be the best as it won't have the support of a wall? Personal advice would be biddable, if possible.
Thank you!!
