Cotoneaster Queen of Carpets is an evergreen shrub which will bring an elegant mix of colour to proceedings

dark green foliage which is offset by its gorgeous pink blooms

although it can also tolerate full sun but in this case the delicate silver veins tend to fade to green

Deadheading spent blooms encourages a second flush of flowers and old foliage should be cut back at the end of the season

where its upright habit provides vertical interest
