Cotoneaster dammeri 'Lowfast' is a fast-growing prostrate evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves densely covering the trailing stems that root as they touch the ground. Spring brings a profusion of white flowers followed by an abundance of ornamental bright red berries in late summer that may persist through winter. Foliage may develop bronzy-purple tones in cooler temperatures. Lowfast Bearberry is attractive as a ground cover or cascading over walls. Useful on slopes for erosion control. Similar in appearance to ‘Coral Beauty’ but ‘Lowfast’ grows a little taller and wider and the berries are redder.
How large does Bearberry Cotoneaster grow?
It typically grows 1 to 2 feet tall and spreads up to 6 feet wide, forming a dense, trailing groundcover that hugs the soil.
What kind of light does it prefer?
Full sun is ideal for the best flowering and berry production, though it will tolerate partial shade.
What type of soil does it need?
It prefers well-drained soil but adapts easily to sandy, loamy, or rocky soils. Avoid soggy or compacted areas. Once established, it’s highly drought-tolerant.
How should it be watered and maintained?
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, it requires minimal watering. Prune lightly after flowering if needed to maintain its shape or control spread.
