Cotoneaster franchetii
Franchet's cotoneaster
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
Clusters of red-tinted white flowers in June, followed by bright orange-red autumn berries, and long, grey-green leaves. This splendid, semi-evergreen (or evergreen in milder, sheltered situations) cotoneaster is ideal for a shrub border with moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Erect in habit with spreading branches, its stems can be tied onto a support and grown as a wall shrub.
