Winter Dogwood Collection

The collection includes one plant of each of the following, all supplied in 9cm nursery pots:

• Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' The leaves of this vigorous shrub turn bright shades of orange-yellow in autumn before being shed to reveal spectacular orange, red and yellow bare stems. A welcome addition to the shrub border, where it looks very striking when backlit by a low sun. Grows to 1.5m.
• Cornus alba 'Sibirica' Upright in habit, the bright red winter stems of this robust cultivar offer vibrant colour as well as vertical interest. Wonderful when planted en masse in drifts and underplanted with either early flowering bulbs such as snowdrops, or a golden-leaved evergreen.Grows to 3m.
• Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' Quickly forming a thicket of luminous yellow-green stems, this suckering shrub tolerates wet soil, so is ideal for boggy areas of the garden. It also looks particularly good when planted beside a pond, where its stems will be reflected in the water. Grows to 2m.
