Cotoneaster St. Andrews Blaze (5lt)

Discovered by David West in 2014 and first offered for sale in 2017 this is a beautifull and smaller growing evergreen shrub most closely related to C.amoenus. Height and spread to around 1.5m and very easy to shape or hedge. Leaves are small, closely spaced, pretty and deep green with intensely silvery young shoots. In summer the branches are covered in deep pink buds that open to very pretty pink cup shaped flowers beloved by bees. These are followed by shiny red orange berries in autumn.
