Notes
Parney cotoneaster (Cotoneaster coriaceus) is an evergreen shrub for hedges and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry soil of most types. It is drought tolerant and grows about 10 to 14 feet tall and wide. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, so it adds life to a hedge row.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Autumn moor grass, and Rozanne crane's-bill.
