Bearberry Cotoneaster |
This prostrate, trailing evergreen shrub is primarily used as a ground cover. It is highlighted with bright green, ovate to rounded leaves with prominent veins. In the fall, Bearberry Cotoneasters are accented by small, bright red berries. This ground cover gets only 1' tall but will spread 5' wide. This is a great plant for banks or hillsides as long as it gets full sun. It becomes drought tolerant once it's established. Small white flowers appear in spring.

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
