How can you keep your Autumn Inferno Cotoneaster happy and healthy? Plant it in full sun where it will grow best and show off its dazzling foliage. It also prefers well-drained, low-moisture soil. During its first year, it works to establish a strong root system, so water it regularly during this time. After it’s established, this plant is quite drought tolerant.
