Looking for a hardy and ornamental plant? Cotoneaster coriaceus, also known as Milkflower or Parney Cotoneaster, may be the perfect choice for you! This evergreen shrub can grow up to 3 meters tall and is hardy up to -15°C. It is known to hybridize freely with other members of its genus. The plant's attractive flowers will catch the eye of bees, while its fruit serves as a winter food source for many species of birds. This easily grown plant prefers good soils but can thrive in poor soils. It grows well in heavy clay soils, can tolerate atmospheric pollution and maritime exposure. While it prefers full sun or semi-shaded areas, it can still produce fruit in a shaded position. Check out more info on http://plants.usda.gov/ for Cotoneaster coriaceus today!
