Cotoneaster acutifolia (Peking Cotoneaster)

Peking Cotoneaster is a good fit for Cache Valley, UT homeowners who want simple groundcover texture, berries, and useful coverage for slopes or edges and a plant that feels easy to use. The orange-red fall color is a nice bonus after the main growing season. It performs best in full sun to partial shade. Once established, it can handle drier stretches with less fuss.
