Notes
'Pink Champagne' willow leaf cotoneaster (Cotoneaster salicifolius 'Pink Champagne') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its arching stems grow at a rapid rate, and bees, birds, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant spring blooms. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Patriot hosta, and Spurge.
