The Cranberry Cotoneaster is a unique and beautiful deciduous plant with many interesting attributes. Its branches cascade downward in an unusual herringbone pattern. The glossy green leaves turn different shades of purple, gold and red in the fall and the soft-pink spring flowers give way to showy, large red berries in summer. This unique plant truly provides new colors and displays with the coming of every season. It grows low and spreads by when its branches touch the ground, making for a lovely groundcover and can also be planted to form a low, rustic hedge. This plant is well suited for hardiness zones 4-7. It prefers average, well-drained soil and does not do well in very hot, humid climates. This moderate grower can reach a height of 3 ft. and spread to 6 ft. in width. The unique and gorgeous Cranberry Cotoneaster is an exciting addition to any garden, including Asian/Zen, Contemporary, Rustic and Wildlife styles.
