Cornus sanguinea Midwinter Fire 3 x 9cm Palnts

Fiery Stems for Brilliant Winter Colour Glowing yellow, orange and red winter stems Colour intensifies on young growth Hardy and easy to grow Attractive autumn foliage Great for borders and winter planting schemes Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’ is a colourful dogwood grown for its spectacular winter stems. Once the leaves fall, young stems in glowing shades of yellow, orange and fiery red are revealed, creating a striking display that lasts right through winter. Through spring and summer, this deciduous shrub forms a leafy, spreading plant with green oval leaves and clusters of small white flowers. As autumn arrives, the foliage changes colour before dropping to reveal those brilliant stems. The flowers also provide a useful food source for pollinating insects. For the best winter display, grow several together where the stems can really make an impact, or combine them with white-barked birches, evergreen shrubs and winter bulbs. The brightest stem colour comes from younger growth, so occasional pruning keeps your dogwood producing fresh, colourful stems year after year.
