48x Cotoneaster 'Queen of Carpets' Ground Cover - 10-25cm, 9cm Pots

Cotoneaster prostratus 'Queen of Carpets' - Dense Ground Cover Plants

This pack of 48 Cotoneaster prostratus 'Queen of Carpets' provides comprehensive coverage for garden areas requiring low-maintenance ground cover. Each plant measures 10-25cm in height and arrives in a 9cm diameter pot, ready for planting.

Growth Characteristics

The Cotoneaster 'Queen of Carpets' grows in a flat, prostrate pattern, creating a dense mat that effectively covers soil and suppresses weeds. This growth habit makes it particularly suitable for slopes, borders, and areas where traditional lawn maintenance proves difficult. The plants spread horizontally rather than vertically, maintaining a consistently low profile throughout the growing season.

Seasonal Interest

In May, the plants produce short white flowers that attract pollinators to the garden. By November, these flowers develop into attractive berries, providing visual interest during the autumn and winter months. This seasonal progression ensures year-round appeal in garden landscapes.

Growing Conditions

These ground cover plants demonstrate exceptional adaptability, thriving in all soil types without requiring specialized growing conditions. They perform equally well in full sun, partial shade, or complete shade, making them suitable for various garden locations including challenging areas under trees or on north-facing slopes.

Maintenance Requirements

For optimal health and growth, prune the plants before the end of February. This timing allows the Cotoneaster to recover and produce new growth in spring. Beyond this annual pruning, the plants require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for gardeners seeking robust, low-effort landscaping solutions.

Bulk Planting Benefits

With 48 plants included, this pack provides sufficient quantity for covering substantial garden areas. Calculate approximately 4-6 plants per square meter for dense coverage. This bulk quantity proves economical for larger projects while ensuring consistent coverage across the planted area.
