Cotoneaster, Peking (Hedge)

Makes a striking, multifunctional landscape feature. In spring it bursts with subtle clusters of pale pink to white blossoms that are attractive to pollinators. These flowers give way to glossy black fruit that persists well into winter months, offering food and interest for birds when many other shrubs are bare. Through summer, the shrub maintains lush, glossy green foliage; it autumn it transforms with warm hues of orange, red, and gold before leaf drop.
