I have had Cotoneaster but I don't rate it as one of my favourites.


There's several Cotoneaster species.

When you look at their characteristics - easy to grow, *flowers in
spring in abundance, followed by equally abundant *berries, it seems a
bit unfair not to like it. Maybe it's because it's all too easy for a
tiny C horizontalis to turn your entire garden into a monoculture?

I based my opinion on the C. horizontalis. I still am not a lover of
them although, maybe I should Google for other species? Any one in
particular that you consider beautiful Kay?

I like C. waterii which now I come to think of it, could well be the
one I've seen at Dartington.
