Notes
'Coral Beauty' bearberry cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri 'Coral Beauty') is a shrub for ground cover, rock gardens, borders, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers with purple anthers open in spring and summer and attract bees and butterflies. This evergreen grows fast and can spread 48 to 72 inches, so give it room. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Oakleaf hydrangea, Ornamental onion, and Gaura.
