Cotoneaster plants are best known for providing excellent ground cover & this variety is no exception. Its spreading stems grow quickly in sunlight or semi-shade, efficiently filling up borders with green foliage. However, keen gardeners could also use wires to train Cotoneaster horizontalis up a sunny wall, making for an unusual & distinctive display. Wherever it's grown, this hardy shrub will provide plenty of interest from the spring, when it produces dainty, pinky white blooms all the way through to the autumn, when its red berrries attract birds, making it worthy of a place in wildlife areas. What's more, the plant's oval-shaped, deciduous leaves turn bright shades of orange & red at the end of the season, adding colour to cottage gardens. Even its silver-brown branches make a lovely, winter feature thanks to their herringbone pattern. With so much year-round variety on offer, you can't go wrong with Cotoneaster horizontalis.

Height: 1m (3'3). Spread: 1.5m (4'11).
