Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Pyrenees cotoneaster is a low-growing, compact, dense, evergreen shrub. The branches arch up and then curve down, forming a compact, rounded mass. The leaves are dull green to blue-green; spring flowers are pinkish white and are followed by round, red berries that persist into winter. Well suited to rock gardens, or the edges of shrub borders. Grows about 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 feet tall and wide.
