Cotoneaster lacteus is a vigorous evergreen shrub valued for its year-round foliage and heavy display of red berries in autumn and winter. Its arching branches and glossy green leaves with pale undersides create strong structure, while clusters of small white flowers in early summer attract pollinators. Tough, adaptable, and low maintenance, it is ideal for walls, fences, screens, and wildlife-friendly garden planting.
