Cotoneaster 'Coral Beauty'
- Coral Beauty is a great choice of evergreen shrub for a small space, with year-round interest from glossy, dark green leaves, white flower clusters in summer and plentiful autumn berries
- Grow in a pot, lawn or as the centrepiece of a mixed border. Cotoneaster grows with its branches in an attractive herringbone pattern, making it perfect for growing flat against a wall
- Fully hardy throughout the UK
- The berries are highly attractive to birds (although inedible for humans) and will attract wildlife to your garden
- This is a truly low maintenance shrub, requiring pruning only if you want to shape the shrub - this should be done after flowering
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
