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

Coral Beauty cotoneaster is a free-fruiting shrub that forms a dense mat of glossy, evergreen foliage. Grows 1 to 2 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide. Small white flowers in late May are followed by red berries that remain on the shrub through late summer and into autumn. Though it's evergreen, the leaves take on a purplish tinge in the fall. Excellent on banks, gentle slopes, masses, and shrub borders.
