Cotoneaster integerrimus is a hardy, deciduous shrub with delicate pink-white spring flowers and bright red berries that persist well into winter, providing vital food for birds. It thrives in most well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade and requires very little care once established. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and enjoy its outstanding four-season ornamental interest.
