Cotoneaster horizontalis
HORIZONTAL COTONEASTER
SKU: 654-10d
Cotoneaster horizontalis is a short shrub with a spreading habit. It is cultivated for its flat, symmetrical sprays of glossy green, deciduous leaves, and masses of bright red berries (pomes) in autumn, persisting into winter. The flowers appear in summer, and can range from pink to white. It is commonly grown as a Bonsai, and also in parks and gardens in temperate regions as hedging or groundcover. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit!
These plants are sometimes used for bonsai, though they can be grown as a regular full-sized tree. If growing as a Bonsai, we are offering our Bonsai growing instruction booklet as an option with your seeds. It contains full-colour images and detailed information about germinating, growing, pruning and potting your new bonsai! It is the same booklet that is offered in our bonsai kit.
Hardiness zones: 5-7
Location: Sun or part sun
Seeds: These seeds are shipped as dried berries. The entire berry can be planted.
Seeds per packet: 10
