Looking for an ornamental plant that can withstand cold temperatures? Look no further than the Cotoneaster coriaceus, also known as the Milkflower Cotoneaster or Parney Cotoneaster. This hardy evergreen shrub can survive temperatures as low as -15°C and is appealing to bees and many species of birds. It thrives in well-draining soils, including lime and peaty soils, and can succeed in dry and heavy clay soils. While it does well in full sun or semi-shade, it won't fruit as much in shady positions. Tolerant of atmospheric pollution and maritime exposure, the Cotoneaster coriaceus is a versatile and easily grown plant that will add a touch of beauty to any garden.
