Certain genera of shrubby plants, are staples in the garden landscape.

The genus Cotoneaster has some 70 or so species and many hybrids.

Their leaves are dull, dark green.

Cotoneaster have no particular cultural demands.

Any soil that is not too boggy will suit them, even relatively poor soils.

In the wild, they generally grow in limestone areas, so for gardeners who have acidic soil, a yearly dusting of lime may be beneficial.
