Cotoneaster horizontalis (cotoneaster)

Cotoneaster horizontalis (cotoneaster) was £5.99 now £4.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: May Hardiness: fully hardy The glossy dark green leaves of this small, spreading, deciduous shrub are studded with tiny, pinkish-white flowers in May, followed by bright red autumn berries. The leaves turn orange-red before they fall. The branches form a pretty herringbone pattern, which means the plant looks stunning grown flat against a wall. It is also an excellent groundcover plant for a sunny border. Garden care: After flowering, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. In autumn trim back lightly any branches that obscure the display of fruit.
