Zone: 5CRANBERRY COTONEASTER
Cotoneaster apiculatus is commonly referred to as Cranberry Cotoneaster or just simply Cotoneaster. It is a deciduous shrub with stiff, arching branches. It is an effective groundcover as branches root where they touch the ground. It is ideal for bank plantings, cascading over walls or shrub borders. Cotoneaster features small pink flowers in late spring that fade to bright red, cranberry-like berries (pomes) that add nice color to the fall landscape. Rounded, glossy green leaves turn vivid shades of purple, red and dark yellow in fall.
Cranberry Cotoneaster enjoys full to part sun in average, medium, well-drained soils. It is a great plant for erosion control.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, as these species are particularly sensitive to waterlogged conditions and root rot, especially during the winter months. Select a site in full sun to partial shade, which encourages the most prolific flowering and the development of their signature autumn berries. These shrubs are highly adaptable and exhibit excellent drought tolerance once established, requiring supplemental water primarily during the first season or periods of severe heat. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant or manage its spread, as these varieties possess a naturally vigorous, sprawling habit that benefits from occasional maintenance.
