Tom Thumb Creeping Cotoneaster

'Tom Thumb' has a unique appeal due to its shiny miniature leaves and the herringbone pattern of its branches. This dwarf variety will eventually spread to 6' and self-root where limbs touch the ground. Although it rarely bears fruit, the stunning red fall color is reward enough. Looks spectacular in a rock garden. Prefers dry soil and full sun.

  • Shape: Low, spreading
  • Foliage: Glossy, dark green
  • Fall Foliage: Red
  • Zone: 4 - 9
