Description
Cotoneaster is a deciduous to semi-evergreen ornamental shrub valued for its fine texture, arching or spreading habit, glossy foliage, and bright red berries that persist into fall and winter. Depending on species, cotoneasters may grow as low groundcovers, mounded shrubs, or upright forms, making them highly versatile in the landscape.
In spring, small white to pale pink flowers appear along the branches, followed by vivid red berries in late summer and fall that attract birds. Summer foliage is glossy green and turns yellow, orange, or red in fall, creating strong seasonal interest. Cotoneaster is adaptable, drought-tolerant once established, and performs well in borders, slopes, foundations, and mass plantings.
