Cotoneaster congestus 'Likiang'
Pyrenees Cotoneaster
Description
This slow growing Cotoneaster grows to about 3' tall and equally as wide and has downward-curving branches and dark green spiny foliage with the lighter undersides. Pink flowers appear in spring, followed by small red berries. This is a great ground cover around rocks and makes a good bonsai plant. This shrub does better in full sun for flower and fruit production. It is drought tolerant once it's established.
