Cotoneaster adpressus (Creeping Cotoneaster)

Cotoneaster adpressus, commonly known as Creeping Cotoneaster, is a low-growing, deciduous shrub that forms a dense mat of spreading branches. It features small, glossy, dark green leaves that turn reddish-purple in fall. In spring, it produces small, white or pinkish flowers, followed by bright red berries that persist into winter. This plant is often used as a ground cover or in rock gardens due to its low, spreading habit.
