Cotoneaster amoenus

Cotoneasters are used ornamentally in shrub borders or as hedges and come in a range of forms and varieties, from deciduous to evergreen and from large shrubs to dwarf plants.

Cotoneaster amoenus is a dense, evergreen shrub with slender, arched branches and dark grey-green foliage. In early to mid-summer it bears white flowers with small pink dots, which are followed by shiny red fruit in autumn. The flowers are a magnet for bees and the berries are eaten by birds.
