description_en: Genus of more than 200 species of deciduous, semi-evergreen, or evergreen shrubs and trees from woodland and rocky areas in N. temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and N. Africa. They have alternate, lance-shaped to narrowly elliptic, broadly ovate, or rounded leaves. Saucer- to shallowly cup-shaped, white to deep pink flowers, borne singly or in cymes from spring to summer, are followed in autumn by ornamental, spherical to ovoid or obovoid fruits. Grow in a shrub border or as a hedge or screen; some are ideal for wall training. Dwarf species are suitable for a rock garden. Many prostrate species provide good ground cover; some may be trained as weeping standards. Seeds may cause mild stomach upset if ingested.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy.
