Cotoneaster simonsii Hedge Plants Description
Cotoneaster simonsii is a semi-evergreen (almost evergreen, retains its leaves in mild winters) upright hedging plant, with small dense green leaves (some of which turn bright red in autumn) and it has profuse white/pink flowers in June (attractive to bees) and bright red, large berries in Autumn which stay on the plant for a long time.
Whilst it makes a great single species evergreen hedge, Himalayan Cotoneaster also looks very attractive planted alongside Cotoneaster franchetii which has orange berries, adding year yourn interest and a depth of colour.
See also our Cotoneaster Hedging Guide for more information on all varieties of Cotoneaster hedging plants.
Please note that in accordance with DEFRA regulations, we are unable to dispatch this species to anywhere outside of the UK Mainland.

For more information on planting distances please see our
planting density advice section.
Cotoneaster Simonsii is best kept at 1m to 1.5m but can be left to grow taller if needed. Pruning should take place early in the year, but aditional pruning of vigarous shoots take place after flowering.
