Notes
Creeping cotoneaster (Cotoneaster nanshan) is a shrub for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and spreads 48 to 72 inches wide, so give it plenty of room. Pinkish flowers open in late spring.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Anglojap yew, and Pink Impression tulip.
