Contoneaster
'Lowfast' is one of the easiest contoneaster to
grow. White flowers are produced at the tips of
the branches in spring and are followed by a nice
crop of red berries in fall. The dark green foliage
turns to a handsome reddish-purple in fall. A
very drought tolerant selection.
Cotoneaster
'Lowfast' grows to 18 inches or so in heigiht
and spreads to 6 feet or more as the stems will
root when there is contact with soil. This makes
it a great selection for hillsides, slopes or
embankments where a good erosion controlling plant
is needed. We also plant Cotoneaster atop retaining
walls where it will naturally cascade down for
a nice effect.
