Cotoneaster Horizontalis

Distinctive, hardy and visually striking, Cotoneaster horizontalis brings architectural structure and beautiful seasonal colour to gardens of all styles.

This low-growing, spreading deciduous shrub is famous for its herringbone-patterned branches and dense mats of glossy green leaves that turn brilliant red and orange in autumn. In spring, small pinkish-white flowers appear, attracting bees and pollinators, followed by vivid red berries that persist well into winter.

Supplied as a strong, well-established 2L nursery-grown plant in peat-free compost, it arrives garden-ready with healthy roots and well-branched growth. Perfect for walls, slopes, rock gardens or ground cover, it remains compact in height while spreading wide to create spectacular coverage and year-round interest.
