Bearberry Cotoneaster

Cotoneaster dammeri 'Lowfast' is a fast-growing prostrate evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves densely covering the trailing stems that root as they touch the ground. Spring brings a profusion of white flowers followed by an abundance of ornamental bright red berries in late summer that may persist through winter. Foliage may develop bronzy-purple tones in cooler temperatures. Lowfast Bearberry is attractive as a ground cover or cascading over walls. Useful on slopes for erosion control. Similar in appearance to ‘Coral Beauty’ but ‘Lowfast’ grows a little taller and wider and the berries are redder.
