DESCRIPTION
Cotoneaster horizontalis is a low-growing, deciduous shrub renowned for its distinct herringbone-patterned branches. The glossy dark green leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn, creating a vivid seasonal display. During late spring, the plant blooms with small pink-tinged white flowers, which add a delicate touch to the dense foliage.

Following the flowers, vibrant red berries appear, persisting into autumn and sometimes through winter, providing visual interest and a food source for wildlife. Native to China and the Himalayas, Cotoneaster horizontalis is often used for ground cover or wall plantings due to its spreading growth habit and adaptability to a range of conditions.
