Select cotoneaster (Cotoneaster) as a lawn replacement
The cotoneaster (cotoneaster) grows low to the ground, roots itself and is often planted as ground cover in home gardens. Most cotoneaster species are evergreen and hardy. If you decide to grow cotoneaster, it is best to find a sunny location and well-drained, moisture-retaining soil.
The fruits are red and resemble tiny berries. Caution: the flowers and leaves of Cotoneaster contain the substance prunasin, while the fruits contain the glycoside amygdalin (plant poison). If you consume large quantities of the berries (10 - 20 pieces), you may experience a burning sensation in your mouth and swelling of your lips.
