Plant Description

The Cotoneaster lacteus, or late cotoneaster, is an elegant evergreen shrub known for its dense, arching branches. Its glossy, dark green leaves contrast beautifully with its delicate clusters of creamy white flowers, which bloom in early summer. By autumn, the plant showcases vibrant red berries, providing seasonal interest and attracting birds. Growing up to 4 meters tall, its cascading habit and leathery foliage make it a favorite for hedging or as a standalone feature. The Cotoneaster lacteus is prized for its year-round appeal and low-maintenance nature.
