Rockspray Cotoneaster is a hardy, dense, slow to moderate growing, semi-prostrate shrub that grows 2 to 3 feet tall and spreads over time to 6 to 8 feet wide on stiff, flattened, horizontal branching that features branchlets arranged in a fishbone pattern. Branching becomes somewhat tiered over time. Plants are deciduous in the northern parts of their growing range but semi-evergreen in the far southern locations.
Rockspray Cotoneaster offers a nice example of a plant with four-season interest. Round to elliptic, glossy dark green leaves to 1/2” long are attractive throughout the growing season. Leaves on deciduous plants turn reddish-purple in the fall. Five-petaled, tiny white to pink flowers appear singly or in pairs in late spring. Bees are attracted to the flowers. Flowers are followed by bright scarlet fruits (pomes) 1/4” wide that mature in late summer to fall. The red berries persist thereafter and remain attractive into early winter but may show signs of shriveling and discoloration by mid-winter. By late winter the berries may attract hungry birds.
