Cotoneaster × suecicus 'Emerald Sprite'
Cotoneaster × suecicus ‘Emerald Sprite’ is a compact and dense ground cover shrub, highly valued for its glossy dark green evergreen foliage and excellent year-round ornamental value. It forms a low, spreading, and regular habit, ideal for embankments, borders, rock gardens, and mass plantings where it provides neat and long-lasting ground cover. In spring, it boasts small, discreet but melliferous white flowers, followed in autumn by abundant bright red berries that contrast beautifully with the foliage and persist long into the cold season. Very hardy and well-adapted to Quebec conditions, ‘Emerald Sprite’ is tolerant, easy to maintain, and an excellent choice for stabilizing soils while promoting biodiversity and four-season interest.
