Cotoneaster horizontalis
Also called Wall Cotoneaster, Rock Cotoneaster, Rock Spray, Wallspray, Herringbone Cotoneaster, Purple Flowered Cotoneaster, Rockspray
Rockspray cotoneaster is a spreading deciduous shrub grown for its flat, herringbone sprays of small glossy leaves, summer flowers and red autumn berries. It is tough and adaptable, and it can become invasive in some areas, so it is best kept pruned and well contained.
Cotoneaster horizontalis is a species of flowering plant in the genus Cotoneaster of the family Rosaceae.
Cotoneaster horizontalis is native to mountains of Nepal, China, and Taiwan; in China it occurs from Tibet and Yunnan in the west to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east and is absent from the north and the very south. It has naturalised in parts of the United Kingdom, and may be becoming invasive. It has been recorded from Counties Down, Antrim and Dublin in Ireland.
