  • Notes

Spreading Willowleaf Cotoneaster is an attractive love-growing shrub or groundcover that has a graceful, arching, weeping, habit. White spring flowers are followed by long-lasting, bright red fruit. Lovely groundcover under taller, higher canopied shrubs and trees. Grows about 2 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide. Semi-evergreen; and has some call color, both with a smattering of red leaves, and the display of red berries.
