20 Common Dogwood Plants / Cornus Sanguinea 40-60cm
These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.
Common Dogwood gives you a dense cover of leaves in summer but comes alive in autumn to spring when nothing else has colour. Grown for its colourful red winter stems when mature, this deciduous shrub also produces a beautiful autumnal display when its leaves turn red before they fall. These plants are supplied coloured green with purplish tops when young and the colour will change to orange/red as they get older.
It will eventually make a large plant if not pruned regularly. Pruning also helps to rejuvenate plants and replace old dull stems with brighter coloured young growth. Cut back the stems to within two or three buds from the base in late winter to mid-spring.
