Cotoneaster horizontalis 'Hessei'
Cotoneaster horizontalis ‘Hessei’ is an ornamental groundcover shrub highly valued for its spreading, dense, and well-structured habit, ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and borders. This selection forms a low and uniform plant carpet, more compact and vigorous than the species type, offering excellent ground cover and a neat landscape effect. Its deciduous dark green foliage turns beautiful orange-red hues in autumn, extending decorative interest late in the season. In spring, it produces small, discreet pale pink flowers, followed in autumn by abundant persistent bright red berries, which are very decorative and appreciated by wildlife. Hardy, tolerant, and easy to maintain, Cotoneaster horizontalis ‘Hessei’ is well-suited to Quebec conditions and is a reliable choice for durable, low-maintenance landscaping.
