General Care
Soil
Tolerates sandy soils, clay soils, and anythiing in between. Not finicky about fertility or pH.Pruning
Seldom needed, but may be pruned selectively in early spring. Blooms on old wood, so pruning will remove flowers and subsequent fruiting.Uses
Cotoneaster offers a lot of versatility in the garden - it's a peerless groundcover, edging plant, or rock garden plant. It's also useful for planting on walls to accentuate its strongly cascading habit.Growing Tips
Cotoneaster may be grown as a standard as well as a low, ground-hugging shrub. Good sun and air circulation ensure a healthy, handsome plant. Not a great choice for hot, humid climates.Features: Fall interest, Drought tolerant, Deer resistant, Alkaline soil, Salt tolerant
