Arguably one of the best Cornus for winter stem colour with its bright and vivid stems of orange and red that stand out in any situation. The colour of the stem changes as it goes up the stem from yellow at the base, through orange and then a bright red near the tips.
It looks stunning whether planted on its own or as a spectacle in groups. Other varieties produce similar colours but none seem to have the same vigour and intensity as this one and often appear a little weak so this is sure one of the best.
To make the display even better, prune each stem hard, back to a few inches at the end of
the winter or after flowering as the new growth will produce the best colours in the following winter.
The soft green leaves in the summer also add to the occasion in autumn as they turn to lovely shades of orange and yellow. Clusters of white flowers are also produced during spring.
Flowers April-May. Height 201-250cm (79-98"); spread 201-250cm (79-98").
Plant Dogwood in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full shade or part shade. Cornus is a very useful shrub, as it can also tolerate damp soils or an exposed position.
