Discover the exquisite beauty of Cotoneaster horizontalis, a short shrub also known as Rock Cotoneaster, Wall Cotoneaster or Rockspray Cotoneaster. It's an ornamental gem, widely grown in gardens and public parks for its stunning, berry-like pomes, which turn a vibrant red and are a source of nutrition for birds. Measuring 12-18 inches tall with a broad 5-8ft spread, this prostrate, slow-growing, deciduous shrub takes center stage in your garden. The shrub showcases tiers of flattened, horizontal branches, arranged in an intricate fishbone pattern. As the seasons change, this Cotoneaster offers an evolving visual feast. Early summer brings delicate, five-petaled pink flowers, while late summer gives way to scarlet berries. The tiny, shiny, dark green leaves turn a handsome reddish-purple in the fall, creating a stunning contrast with the bright berries. It's low maintenance, and despite its elegant appearance, it's tough and robust, thriving in well-drained situations. Whether you're looking for a substantial ground cover or an eye-catching feature plant, Cotoneaster horizontalis will not disappoint.
