Originating from Europe, this compact and hardy deciduous shrub is prized for its spectacular winter stems in fiery shades of orange, yellow and red. This variety of dogwood is a standout in the colder months, especially in low winter light, it adds striking colour and structure to the garden when little else is in bloom. Best in full sun to part shade and thrives in most free-draining soils.

For the best stem colour, prune hard in early spring to promote vibrant new growth. Ideal for borders, mass planting or winter interest. Hardy and easy to grow.
