Perfect For
Ideal for mixed borders where winter interest is needed. Excellent near water features or in damp areas of the garden. Perfect for winter stem displays, especially when planted in groups. Works well in wildlife gardens as it attracts pollinators.
Growing Tips
Plant in sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates heavy clay and damp conditions. For the best winter stem colour, hard prune in early spring, cutting stems back to near ground level. This encourages vigorous new growth with the brightest red colouration. Mulch annually and water during dry periods.
Looks Great With
Combines beautifully with other coloured-stem dogwoods for winter displays. Pairs well with winter-flowering shrubs like hamamelis. Plant with evergreens to provide backdrop for winter stems. Underplant with spring bulbs for early season colour.
A versatile and valuable shrub that offers something special in every season, from attractive variegated foliage to brilliant winter stems.
