Cotoneaster dammeri, commonly called bearberry cotoneaster, is a dense, fast-growing, prostrate ground cover that grows to 1’ tall but spreads to 6’ wide or more on stiff, slender, prostrate branches that root at the nodes where they touch the ground. ‘Coral Beauty’ is a cultivar which is primarily distinguished from species plants by having: (1) more compact habit; (2) leaves a bit shinier; and (3) more abundant fruit crop.

Best grown in moist, loamy, sharply-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Requires little supplemental watering once established. Prune to shape as needed (planting spreads and often becomes ragged over time). Plants dislike hot summer conditions and often struggle south of USDA Zone 7.
