| Cotoneaster x hessei
Hess cotoneasterCulture: Tolerant of a wide range of cultural conditions, Cotoneaster x hessei will grow in heavy clay or sandy soils, in drought-like conditions, in either alkaline or acidic soils, and in salted sites. It prefers moist, well-drained soils, and will not tolerate wet feet -- that is, the site must drain. Few problems with mites or fireblight; although canker is still a possibility. Usage: Like Cotoneaster adpressus, this is an excellent choice for rock gardens, along foundations, and for bank stabilization. Its glossy foliage, showy fruit production, and disease resistance make this selection a useful plant in the Midwestern landscape. |
