About Dogwood Hedging Bare Root 60-100 cm Delivery from November

Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) is a hardy, deciduous shrub loved for its vibrant winter stem colour, seasonal foliage, and wildlife value. A staple of native and mixed hedging, it adds structure, year-round interest, and ecological benefits to gardens, field boundaries, and landscape projects.

In spring and summer, Dogwood produces fresh green leaves and clusters of creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by dark berries for birds. As the leaves fall in autumn, striking red stems are revealed, providing a dramatic burst of winter colour. Easy to grow and adaptable, it thrives in most soils and conditions and responds well to pruning.

Supplied as bare root plants and delivered from November, Dogwood is a cost-effective way to add seasonal interest and biodiversity to native hedging schemes.

Key Features:

  • Hardy deciduous shrub with vivid red winter stems

  • Creamy-white spring flowers and dark autumn berries for wildlife

  • Provides year-round structure and seasonal interest

  • Fast-growing, low-maintenance, and versatile

  • Supplied bare root for cost-effective planting in November

Planting & Care:

  • Position: Full sun to partial shade

  • Soil: Any well-drained soil, including clay or chalk
