Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select an area with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and well-drained soil. Cotoneasters grow in most soil types but prefer moist, well-drained conditions.

When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s large enough to accommodate the shrub’s root ball (with some extra width to make room for mature growth), place your shrub and backfill the soil. We recommend watering to settle the roots and mulching to conserve moisture.

Don’t forget to leave your Cotoneaster plenty of room to grow – it can spread up to 6 feet.

2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. After, water weekly or when the soil is dry 2-3 inches down.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize yearly in early spring to promote growth.

4. Pruning: Pruning isn’t necessary to keep your Coral Beauty Cotoneaster looking good, but you can prune annually to shape.
