East Lothian,
United Kingdom 
I planted a couple of Pyracantha 'Saphyr Rouge' a few weeks ago. We have had a couple of frosts since. They are planted on the site of an old compost heap so the soil is rich. They do not look as if they are thriving and I wondered if someone could help. Photo attached.
Also could someone name this plant for me. It is a beautiful bright pink, thrives and brightens up a dark damp corner. You see it everywhere but no one I know can remember the name!

It's a pulmonaria pink haze. Brilliant little plant for early colour, ground cover in shady corner.

Its hard to tell from the picture, but it looks as if you've planted the pyracantha far too close to the wall and shed - there should be at least a foot between the plant and any wall or fence, so move it further forward. I was also going to ask whether you'd watered it, but am not sure how dry and warm its been where you are - here in west London, I've got the sprinkler on today. New plants need to be watered well during dry spells, so if you've had no rain, give it a good water when you reposition it.
The pink flower I'm not sure, looks like a pink version of Pulmonaria, will look it up later, in the middle of doing dinner right now, lol!
