Description
A versatile evergreen ornamental plant ideal for use as a highly-attractive carpet-forming groundcover, and a splendid candidate for weeping a topiary tree or bonsai, the ‘Streib’s Findling’ Contoneaster provides 4-season appeal in the landscape. Perhaps its number one attribute is the profusion of bright red berries it produces in fall that follow an equal profusion of small, star-shaped white flowers in spring. Its tiny blue-green leaves provide fine texture in the landscape and are evergreen to semi-evergreen depending on climate. When used in design as a groundcover or cascading plant to spill over walls, it has a low spreading habit 4 to 10 inches high, spreading slowly over time to 6 feet or more. As mentioned, it can also be grown as a tree-form weeping topiary by training a stem(s) to grow upwards on a 3 to 6 foot tall stake and is a fine candidate for bonsai and miniature gardens. Excellent for underplanting small trees such as Japanese Maples and Crape Myrtle.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 10 inches tall and spreading 6 feet or more in width, Streib’s Findling Cotoneaster is ideal for use as a groundcover plant on embankments or along landscape borders or in home foundation plantings. It will cascade over walls and boulders and is a great choice to underplant small trees such as Japanese Maple and Crape Myrtle. Its central leader or stems can be trained to grow up a stake to create an exquisite, cascading topiary. Can be grown long-term in pots, planters and other containers and trained to grow as a miniature bonsai tree. A fine addition to minature gardens, Asian theme gardens, rock gardens, and wildlife gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 3 to 4 feet apart for mass plantings; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Streib’s Findling Cotoneaster is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 4 hours of sunlight for best flowering and berry production. Established plants have high drought tolerance. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
