Deciduous cotoneasters are popular plants with pink flowers in late spring and early summer, but they are mainly grown for their bright displays of red berries and reddy leaf tints in autumn., when they become a strong feature. C. horizontalis is also liked for it's herringbone pattern of its stems, which make  a good covering shrub for the ground or on a wall, depending on how it is trained. It is happy in shade, but its displays of tiny pink flowers and bright red berries are more enhanced in full sun.
