Cotoneaster Perpusillus

Dwarf cotoneaster, scientifically known as Cotoneaster perpusillus, is a small evergreen shrub native to the mountainous regions of China. It is characterized by its compact growth habit and dense clusters of small, glossy leaves. This plant is highly valued for its ornamental appeal and ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions. It is commonly used in rock gardens and as a ground cover due to its hardy nature. Despite its modest size, the dwarf cotoneaster plays an important ecological role in supporting local wildlife.
