Cotoneaster Horizontalis - 24 Pack Ground Cover Collection
This pack of 24 Cotoneaster horizontalis plants offers excellent value for gardeners looking to create stunning ground cover or train against walls and fences. Each plant is supplied in a 9cm pot with a height of 10-25cm, ready to establish quickly in your garden.
Key Features
Cotoneaster horizontalis is a deciduous shrub prized for its distinctive herringbone branching pattern. The glossy dark green leaves create an attractive backdrop throughout spring and summer, before transforming into brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn. Small pinkish-white flowers appear in May, attracting bees and pollinators, followed by bright red berries that persist through winter, providing valuable food for birds.
Growing Specifications
This hardy shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates most soil types, except waterlogged conditions. Once established, it becomes drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. The spreading growth habit makes it ideal for ground cover in borders, covering banks, or training flat against walls using wires. Mature plants typically reach 50cm-1m in height with a spread of 1.5m.
Garden Uses
The 24-plant bulk pack is perfect for creating extensive ground cover, filling borders, or establishing wildlife-friendly areas. The herringbone branch structure provides year-round architectural interest, particularly striking in winter when the silvery-brown framework is revealed. This versatile shrub works well in low hedges, rock gardens, and as an underplanting for taller shrubs.
Care Requirements
Plant in well-drained soil with added organic matter. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, avoiding hard pruning which can reduce berry production. Feed annually with slow-release fertilizer for optimal growth.
