Willow-leaf cotoneaster
Cotoneaster salicifolius
Willow-leaf cotoneaster is a tough, adaptable shrub that thrives in partial shade to full sun with regular but moderate watering. It produces clusters of small white flowers in spring followed by bright red berries that persist through winter, making it highly attractive to birds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape; it tolerates most well-drained soils with minimal fertilization.
