They’re only small plants but they used to be very cheap so you could buy a few. There are several cotoneaster varieties. They don’t usually cling though.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Sorry @Lyn. Wrong word. I didn't mean cling in the ivy kind of way but in the clingy huggy kind of way. Some of the prostrate things I've looked at seem to get to height whereas this was definitely flat comparatively speaking. I've just read that the spread is indefinite so that sounds good.
Thought the flowers looked familiar. Wish we had the procumbens variety. Don’t be tempted by the Gaultheria shallon, which I still see advertised as good ground cover. It is seen as a pest in the western USA, it has certainly covered the steep bank in our garden, but spreads by suckers and is making bids for the rest of the garden. Also the birds love the berries, with the result that there are plenty of satellite colonies starting up elsewhere. They get established very quickly if you don’t catch them in time.
