Cotoneaster × suecicus 'Juliette' Patio Tree, Top-Worked at 85cm (11.5L Pot)

A real eye-catcher for the patio, Cotoneaster × suecicus 'Juliette' is prized above all for its striking variegated foliage — small, dark green leaves edged in creamy white and grey-green, which brighten shaded corners and give year-round interest thanks to its evergreen habit. Here it's been grafted onto an 85cm clear stem to create an elegant miniature weeping tree, the naturally prostrate growth cascading softly from the crown rather than sprawling across the ground.

In summer, delicate white flowers lightly tinged with pink appear along the branches, proving popular with bees, before giving way to a generous display of bright scarlet berries in autumn that persist into winter, providing valuable food for garden birds. This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, reflecting its reliability and garden-worthiness.

Tough and adaptable, it tolerates a wide range of soils including chalk, clay, loam and sand, and copes well with both exposed and sheltered positions in full sun or partial shade. Grafting onto the upright stem keeps this variety neat and compact, making it perfectly suited to a large decorative pot on the patio or as a specimen feature in a small garden.

Supplied as a well-established plant in an 11.5-litre pot, ready to enjoy on the patio.

Each plant is hand-selected before dispatch.
