Cotoneaster salicifolius 'Repens' (Willowleaf Cotoneaster) - This low evergreen groundcover variety can grow to 1 foot tall (it will stay more prostrate if not crowded) and trails 8 feet. Arching branches are clothed in pointed leaves that have a hairy underside. White flowers in spring produce red berries in fall. Plant in full sun. Drought tolerant. A great dry shade under story groundcover but also very useful in full sun. It is hardy to <15 degrees F. We grew this plant from 1985 until 2007. Still think it a good plant but just can't grow everything.
The information about Cotoneaster salicifolius 'Repens' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
