Cornus shrubs (dogwoods) are one of the best ways to add winter interest without any drama. When borders can look a bit bare, cornus steps in with colourful stems that brighten the garden for months. If you want something that keeps your outdoor space looking "done" in the colder seasons, cornus is a smart buy.

They’re also versatile and easy to use. Plant cornus in borders, group them together for a stronger winter display, or use them to bring colour into mixed planting with evergreens and grasses. In spring and summer they blend in nicely, then when leaves drop, those stems become the main event. A simple annual prune (often done in late winter/early spring) helps keep the colour strong, so you get great value year after year.

Cornus is a practical choice for UK gardens because it’s hardy and dependable. It’s also great for adding structure and height without needing fussy care. If you’re building a garden that looks good beyond the summer months, cornus is one of the easiest wins.

We’ve curated our cornus range with UK gardens in mind, focusing on popular varieties chosen for strong stem colour and reliable growth. Your plants are carefully selected and packed for safe delivery, arriving ready to plant and thrive. For winter colour that makes a real difference, cornus is hard to beat.
