Milk flower or Late Cotoneaster. A large evergreen shrub or small tree with dark green elliptical leaves. Heads of up to 100 white flowers in summer are followed by masses of small round red berries persisting over winter. It has a graceful arching habit. It is frost hardy and tolerant of poor, dry soils. Grow in full sun or partial shade.
Ideal for hedging. A Cotoneaster lacteus hedge has so much to offer, from white flowers in summer, red berries through to winter and dark evergreen foliage with a furry, white underneath. Looks great when pruned into a neat form with weeping stems, or left more informal when reaching over walls and fences. It will welcome wildlife to your garden. Bees, butterflies and birds love the bright red winter berries and clusters of pretty flowers.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
