Product Description
Cornus Alba / Red-stemmed Dogwood in 9cm Pot, Beautiful Red Bark All Year Around
Red-stemmed Dogwood as commonly known, gives you a dense cover of leaves in summer but comes alive in autumn to spring when nothing else has colour. It produces a vibrant red bark, small cream flowers in Spring/Summer and bluish-white berries in Autumn.
Cornus alba has stunning bright red bark which adds colour to the winter garden. Tolerant of a wide range of soils, it produces the brightest winter bark when planted in full sun. To keep the size of the plant in check and to encourage the most colourful bark, remove a third of the stems back to ground level each spring. It may also be mixed with the green variety Cornus Sanguinea to provide 2 colours. Plant as a single shrub or as a hedge 30-60cm apart.
