| Description | A unique variety discovered by plantsman Dan Hinkley, with an upright form that stays narrow. Small green leaves create a fine texture. Shears nicely into formal shapes. Perfect for hedges in narrower planting beds. Found at high elevations, it may be hardier than zone 7. Further testing is needed. Semi-evergreen; may remain evergreen in mild winters. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Semi-Evergreen |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Growth Habit | Upright |
| Patent Act | Asexual reproduction of plants protected by the Plant Patent Act is prohibited during the life of the patent. |
| Landscape Use | Barrier, Hedge |
| Flower Color | White |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Care Instructions | Grows easily in average, well-drained soils. Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply fertilizer in early spring. For a tidy appearance, prune annually to shape. |
| History | Collected in the Mayodia Pass in India, at an elevation of 2200 meters. Cotoneasters berry better if they are near other clones of the same species. Since Monrovia is only growing one clone, it is yet unclear if this cultivar will produce berries. The fruit collected from the wild plant was orange. |
