Cotoneaster Horizontalis (9cm)

Description

Cotoneaster Horizontalis is a spreading, deciduous, vigorous shrub with small, glossy, dark green leaves that turn a beautiful flaming orange-red in autumn before they fall off. In May it is studded with tiny, pinkish-white flowers, followed by bright red autumn berries. The branches form a pretty herringbone pattern, which means the plant looks stunning grown against low walls or as an ideal groundcover plant for slopes and banks.

This flowering hedge can be planted in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. It will grow well in shaded areas but its flowers and berries will be more prolific if grown in a sunny spot. After flowering, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant. In autumn trim back lightly any branches that obscure the display of fruit.
