Evergreen Carpet of Leaves

Your slow-growing plant covers gardens, embankments and slopes with a dark green carpet that you can enjoy all year round. In summer, the fragrant white blossoms attract bees and other beneficial insects, while in autumn, birds feast on the red berries. Even, cushion-like growth up to 25 cm per year. Seasonal white blossoms and red berries delight birds, bumblebees, and other pollinators. Easy to care for and robust, also suitable for beginners. Versatile use as ground cover, lawn substitute, container plant, or for stabilizing slopes. An attractive and low-maintenance all-rounder. Your Cotoneaster Dammeri is literally an all-rounder, as it boasts evergreen foliage year-round. Whether you use your creeping cotoneaster as a low hedge or lawn substitute, it always looks fantastic, thanks to its exceptionally even growth. If needed, you can also prune the robust plant into shape. When planting, ensure humus-rich, well-draining soil and a sunny to partially shaded location; the root ball should also be well-moistened. Generally, waterlogging should be avoided; otherwise, your creeping cotoneaster is extremely easy to care for and self-sufficient. In spring, fragrant blossoms appear, followed in late summer by coral-red berries that form a lovely contrast to the glossy, dark green foliage. The red berries remain until winter and sometimes even into spring, so you can enjoy their attractive splashes of color even on gray days. Cover your garden soil with your evergreen creeping cotoneaster Dammeri and create appealing accents all year round.
