Description
Coral Beauty Cotoneaster is a low-spreading evergreen shrub that makes an excellent groundcover. The dense branching is covered with tiny shiny green leaves that earn a purple ting once the weather cools. Coral Beauty Cotoneaster has white flowers that bloom in late spring, which then give way to showy coral-red berries. Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
