Cotoneaster dammeri 'Coral Beauty' (Bearberry Cotoneaster) - This evergreen groundcover grows under 1 foot tall and spreads to 6 feet wide by trailing stems, which root as they touch the ground. White flowers in the spring are followed by an abundant quantity of bright orange red berries. Plant in full sun to part shade and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. It is hardy to -10 to -20 degrees F (USDA Zone 5). Introduced by W. Hoogendoorn and Sons of Boskoop, Netherlands in 1967. Other possible names or very similar plants include 'Pink Beauty', 'Royal Beauty' and 'Royal Carpet'. The name for the genus is derived from the Latin words 'cotone', an old name for the quince plant, and the suffix 'aster' means "resembling". We discontinued growing this plant in 2015 as we felt it was too close and easily confused with 'Lowfast'.
This information about Cotoneaster dammeri 'Coral Beauty' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
