 | | | Shade Loving Perennials: Cotoneaster Cotoneasters' dense habit, nectar rich flowers, and attractive red berries makes them very good wildlife plants. They're good berrying shrubs for the birds, and their masses of inconspicuous pink-white or cream flowers are mobbed by honey bees and bumblebees. They are easy to grow, and will happily cope with poor soil and shade.
Varieties:
Cotoneaster 'Coral Beauty': dense habit, coral red berries
Cotoneaster horizontalis: to 80cm, spread 1.5m. Herringbone branch pattern
Cotoneaster horizontalis 'Variegatus': silver variegation
Cotoneaster microphyllus: evergreen, coral-red berries
If we cannot find exactly the variety you would like in the nursery at the moment and we can find a very close alternative, we hope it is acceptable to supply it in lieu. Before we do so, however, we will ask you if you would be happy to accept a substitute.
Flowers: May-June
Soil type: Any, well-drained.
Supplier : Burncoose Nurseries
