Description
Cotoneaster horizontalis is a short shrub with a spreading habit, growing to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) tall by 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) wide. It is cultivated for its flat, symmetrical sprays of glossy green, deciduous leaves 6 to 12 mm long[1] and masses of bright red berries (pomes) in autumn, persisting into winter.[2] The flowers appear in summer, and can range from pink to white. It is commonly grown in parks and gardens in temperate regions as hedging or groundcover.[3]
Distribution
Cotoneaster horizontalis is native to mountains of Nepal, China, and Taiwan; in China it occurs from Tibet and Yunnan in the west to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east and is absent from the north and the very south.[4] It has naturalised in parts of the United Kingdom, and may be becoming invasive.[5][6] It has been recorded from Counties Down, Antrim [7]and Dublin in Ireland.[8]
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[9]
