Cranberry Cotoneaster

Cranberry Cotoneaster

Cotoneaster apiculatus

This low, spreading cotoneaster is prized for its persistent red berries and reliable bronzy-red autumn foliage: a tough, low-maintenance groundcover or bank planting that provides season-long ornamental interest.

  • Red berries in late summer sometimes persist into the winter.
  • Small wavy glossy green leaves turn bronzy-red in the fall.
  • Graceful spreading habit re-roots for an effective ground cover.
  • Commonly used for border/edging.
  • Grows best in full sun to partial shade.
