Transform your landscape with Cotoneaster acutifolius var. lucidus, commonly known as Hedge Cotoneaster or Shiny Cotoneaster. This robust, deciduous shrub is celebrated for its vibrant foliage and adaptability, making it a perfect choice for hedges or captivating standalone features. Reaching 6-10 feet tall and slightly less in width, it boasts an impressive round-topped form with spreading branches.

The glossy, dark green leaves turn eye-catching shades of yellow to red in the fall, offering a stunning seasonal transformation. In late spring, enjoy the delightful clusters of 3-8 small, pinkish-white flowers that attract bees, followed by persistent black berries in the winter.

Ideal for creating defined, geometric privacy hedges, Hedge Cotoneaster thrives in sun to light shade and well-drained soils, demonstrating superb tolerance to poor soils and wind. Native to northern Asia, particularly the Altai Mountains, it is hardy to USDA Zone 3.

Low maintenance and highly resilient, it's easy to propagate and prune, making it a hassle-free, vibrant addition to any garden. Elevate your landscape with this versatile and colorful shrub today!
