The Hedge Cotoneaster is a multi-stemmed shrub with a rounded form, offering year-round appeal. It features glossy green leaves that transform into a stunning mix of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. In late spring, the branches are adorned with small, pale pink flowers that attract bees. These blooms give way to rounded, black berries that persist through the winter, providing food for birds, though they are inedible to humans. This adaptable shrub thrives in various soil types and is highly tolerant of urban pollution. True to its name, the Hedge Cotoneaster responds well to pruning and makes an excellent choice for hedges or borders.
