Cotoneaster horizontalis, commonly referred to as Rock Cotoneaster, is a low-growing, spreading shrub that offers both ornamental beauty and functional benefits. This deciduous plant is prized for its unique herringbone-like branching pattern, which creates an eye-catching visual appeal.
Measuring approximately 30 to 60 centimetres (12 to 24 inches) in height and spreading to a width of 90 to 120 centimetres (36 to 48 inches), Cotoneaster horizontalis is a compact shrub suitable for ground cover or low hedges. Its small, oval-shaped leaves transition through shades of green, often with hints of red or bronze during the autumn months.
During spring, this cotoneaster species blooms with dainty white to pale pink flowers that give way to small, bright red berries in the autumn. These berries not only add a pop of colour to the landscape but also attract birds, making the shrub a valuable addition for wildlife enthusiasts.
Cotoneaster horizontalis is highly adaptable to various soil types and can thrive in both full sun and partial shade. Its ability to withstand urban conditions and its low maintenance requirements further enhance its desirability for landscaping purposes. Whether cascading over walls, beautifying slopes, or adding interest to rock gardens, Cotoneaster horizontalis remains a charming and versatile choice for outdoor spaces.

We don't provide the current size of our plants in the product description because they are constantly growing and changing with the seasons. In addition, we may trim our plants to encourage new growth, so their size can vary from day to day. We believe this is an essential part of caring for our plants and keeping them healthy. *This also means the flower/fruit months shown are for reference only and we cannot guarantee plants are sent with flowers.
We recommend selecting a pot size that fits your needs and the planting location; a larger pot will usually contain a larger plant. We are happy to provide up to date sizing on request.
Please note that the photos we provide are mostly of the plant's final dimensions or of their unique points of interest, such as flowers, which may only appear at certain times of the growing season. Therefore, they are often not representative of the size or exact plant you will receive.
Here are our most common pot dimensions for your convenience. Availability according to listed quantity.
We send all of our plants using the Royal Mail 48 service for delivery. It's important to note that this service does not guarantee delivery within 48 hours of dispatch. Please be aware that this is not a tracked service, although we will provide you with a tracking number. The tracking number will only update with information once a delivery attempt has been made.
We understand that receiving your plants in a timely and healthy manner is important to you, and it's important to us too. We aim to dispatch every order within three working days and usually package plants every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, ready for dispatch the next day.
Each of our plants is packaged in a cardboard box and secured at one end to limit movement and try to ensure safe travel; however, it is still possible for some planting material to become loose in transit.
