Plant description
This showy evergreen shrub will offer interest throughout the year. Its arching branches are clothed in lustrous mid-green leaves, each with a downy reverse, and then in summer small pink flowers appear, putting on a colourful show. Then, in late autumn, the branches are weighed down with an abundance of small, orange-red berries, which will help attract birds into the garden. It's very easy to grow, and it can be used to add colour to the shrub border - or to create an informal, ornamental hedge.

How to care for Cotoneaster naoujanensis Berried Treasure:
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. This Cotoneaster is tolerant of a range of soil types, including poor or chalky soils, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish.
After flowering in late spring or early summer, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant and apply a generous 5–7cm (2–3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. In autumn, trim back lightly any branches that obscure the display of fruit.
