Overview

The Red Clusterberry Cotoneaster is a resilient, deciduous shrub with arching branches, reaching 5-6 feet high and wide. Its small, dark green leaves turn reddish-purple in fall. Spring blooms are pinkish-white, setting the stage for vivid red berries persisting into winter. This low-maintenance plant prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates various soil types. Ideal for hedging and wildlife gardens, it offers year-round interest and attracts birds.
