Cotoneaster suecicus 'Coral Beauty' - Hardy Ground Cover Shrub
The Cotoneaster suecicus 'Coral Beauty' is a hardy, low-growing shrub with dense foliage. It features glossy green leaves and delicate white flowers in spring, followed by vibrant orange berries in autumn and winter. Ideal as ground cover or a low hedge, it also attracts birds who love the berries. A low-maintenance choice for adding color to your garden!
Key Features
This evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub maintains its glossy green foliage throughout most of the year, providing consistent ground coverage. The low-growing habit makes it particularly suitable for slopes, rockeries, and areas where traditional lawn maintenance is difficult. The dense branching structure creates an effective weed-suppressing layer once established.
In spring, the shrub produces clusters of small white flowers that provide nectar for pollinators. By autumn, these transform into bright orange-red berries that persist through winter, offering valuable food for garden birds during colder months. This seasonal interest makes Cotoneaster 'Coral Beauty' a year-round performer in the garden.
Growing Specifications
Each plant is supplied at 10-25cm height in a 9cm diameter growing pot, ready for planting. This bulk pack of 24 plants provides excellent coverage for larger areas or multiple garden projects. The compact size allows for easy establishment and quick spreading once planted.
Cotoneaster suecicus 'Coral Beauty' tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and thrives in both full sun and partial shade. Its drought tolerance once established makes it suitable for low-water gardens. The spreading habit typically reaches 1.5-2 meters wide while maintaining a low height of 30-40cm at maturity.
Planting and Maintenance
Space plants 40-60cm apart for ground cover applications, or closer for faster coverage. This low-maintenance shrub requires minimal pruning, though light trimming in early spring helps maintain shape. The hardy nature of 'Coral Beauty' means it withstands frost and requires no winter protection in most climates.
Wildlife Benefits
The berry production attracts blackbirds, thrushes, and other garden birds, supporting local wildlife populations. The dense foliage also provides shelter for small creatures and nesting sites for ground-dwelling birds. The spring flowers support bees and other beneficial insects.
