Cotoneaster buxifolius is a versatile, low-maintenance, evergreen shrub featuring silver-blue to gray foliage, spring white blooms and persistent, small red to orange-red winter berries. Excellent for low hedges, mass plantings, ground cover, and bank stabilization. Its dense growth habit provides natural weed suppression. Best in full sun but tolerates light/dappled shade. It has low to moderate water use. Once established, it is highly drought resistant. Adapts to almost any soil type (sandy, clay, loam) as long as it is well-drained. Fire-resistant. Deer-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold-hardy to -20°F.
