Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • 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.
