Cotoneaster lacteus is a fast-growing, evergreen broadleaf shrub featuring leaves with glossy dark-green above and downy-white/grey undersides, white spring flowers and heavy clusters of persistent, profuse, small red berries that mature in fall and persist through winter. Perfect for a screen, hedge, espalier, or bank cover. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Low to moderate water use (occasional summer watering once established). It tolerates partial shade, though it grows most compactly in full sun. Adaptable to most soils, but needs good drainage. Highly deer resistant and rabbit resistant. Moderate to high fire resistance. Verticillium wilt resistant. Cold hardy to roughly 10°F to 15°F.
