Latin Name: Cotoneaster apiculatus 

Description: This spectacular cotoneaster variety makes for excellent and sturdy groundcover, even in the most difficult soils. Used strategically for erosion control. Small, white, sweetly-scented flowers emerge in the early spring, producing green-to-crimson coloured berries in the summer. With the berries persisting into the winter, there is little mess, and they make a spectacular show in the colder season with their berries and green-purple coloured foliage.
