Cotoneaster franchetii is a tough, adaptable shrub valued for its arching form, soft grey-green foliage, and abundant orange-red berries that provide strong autumn and winter interest. In late spring, clusters of small white flowers attract pollinators, followed by decorative fruits that are popular with birds. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it is an excellent choice for hedges, informal screens, and wildlife-focused garden planting schemes.
