Plant details
This is a lovely, variegated cotoneaster with horizontally-spreading branches, which looks great in the garden for most of the year. It has small, oval, variegated leaves with attractive creamy-white margins, which turn a fantastic pink-red in autumn. Small, white flowers appear in late spring, followed by bright scarlet red berries in autumn before the leaves drop. This shrub is best grown in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
