Product Description

Cornus Midwinter Fire (commonly known as Dogwood) is a shrub which produces ovate, mid-green leaves and small, cream/white flowers in May and June - however, the flowers are not the star of this show. In autumn, Cornus Midwinter Fire stays true to it's namesake, slowly revealing brilliant flame-coloured stems as the leaves fall away. Shoots begin a magnificent yellow-orange shade, with the tips turning a brilliant red as the season goes on, giving the shrub a flaming look. Perfect for bringing a burst of colour to bare winter gardens. You could even use the orange-red stems for an indoor arrangement, perhaps even spraying them gold for a festive look. We'd recommend planting in groups for a truly fantastic show in winter once all the other colour is gone either in the garden border or containers for smaller gardens.

Growing at a glance…

The cornus (dogwood) is an amazing and unique addition to any garden display, as it will produce wonderfully colourful shoots in winter. Will thrive in full sun or partial shade, and require little pruning, though you can prune back in mid-spring to help keep a comfortable shape. Make sure they get plenty of water in the dry season. Suitable for planting in most types of soil, and if you have the space then we recommend that you plant in groups of three for an even spread.
