Cotoneaster Acutifolia

Cotoneaster

A hardy and vigorous shrub, appreciated for its dark green foliage that turns purple-red in the autumn. Its small white flowers in late spring are followed by glossy black berries that persist in winter, providing a decorative and nutritious attraction for birds. With its dense and spreading habit, it is ideal for hedges, windbreaks or as a plant screen. Water regularly during establishment, then only in the event of prolonged drought. Prune it in spring to maintain a harmonious shape and remove dead or damaged branches. It is very cold-hardy and does not require special protection in winter. A layer of mulch around the base can be applied to preserve moisture and protect the roots in the event of severe cold.
