Description

Scarlet Leader Cotoneaster, also known as Cotoneaster dammeri 'Scarlet Leader,' is a low-growing evergreen shrub that is native to China. It is a popular landscaping plant due to its attractive foliage, pink flowers, and bright red berries in the fall.

The Scarlet Leader Cotoneaster typically grows to a height and width of 1 to 2 feet, and has a trailing growth habit. Its small, glossy leaves are dark green and remain on the plant year-round. In the spring, the shrub produces small pink flowers that attract bees and butterflies. In the fall, it produces bright red berries that persist into the winter and are attractive to birds.

Scarlet Leader Cotoneaster is a hardy and adaptable shrub that can tolerate a wide range of soil types and growing conditions. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is also drought-tolerant once established.

One of the advantages of Scarlet Leader Cotoneaster is its low-maintenance nature. It requires minimal pruning or shaping to maintain its shape, and is resistant to pests and diseases. It is also a good choice for groundcover, rock gardens, or as a low border or edging plant.
