For sale: One Corokia cotoneaster (Wire Netting Bush),  1-2 year old 6-12 inches tall

Evergreen, divaricating shrub from New Zealand, our hardiest selection of this odd little dogwood relative collected from a garden in Eugene, Oregon. Silver gray stems with tiny leaves and, in spring, tiny, fragrant, yellow flowers. To 8' x 8' in time. Full sun to part shade with good drainage and summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. Here's a fabulous little evergreen shrub with intricately zig-zagging black stems and tiny leaves that are dark grey on the upper surface and pale grey beneath. Its fine foliage and intricate habit make it very useful to contrast with larger leafed evergreens. This growth habit is a natural adaptation to herbivores which generally pass it by in favor of more palatable leafy plants. Although frequently seen as a low shrub 2 - 4' tall and wide it has been known to occasionally reach 10' in the Northwest. Mature plants also produce inconspicuous yellow flowers which are followed by little berries. It is easily grown in sun or part shade, quite drought tolerant, and hardy to about 10°F.
