Cottoneaster horizontalis

Lovely colour and as you say loved by bees when in flower. Mine is flat against a fence and kept to 6ft tall.

this will need another prune in the spring as it is starting to stop the gate being fully opened.
this summer it had lots of insects that I couldn't identify other than parasitic wasps etc. lots of different bee species too.

I like the horizontalis but it always suffered from some kind of leaf miner... it was planted in the small garden of a townhouse I used to live in... wonder if it's still there?
