Description
Add vibrant winter colour to your garden with this striking Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’. Renowned for its bright yellow-green stems, this hardy deciduous shrub truly comes alive during the colder months when its bare, vivid bark creates a stunning focal point against frost and snow. During spring and summer, it produces clusters of small creamy-white flowers followed by white berries, while its lush mid-green foliage offers reliable coverage throughout the growing season.
This Yellow Twig Dogwood is a vigorous and easy-to-grow shrub that thrives in a range of conditions, including damp and waterlogged soils, making it an excellent choice for pond margins, bog gardens, and low-lying borders. For the most intense stem colour, hard prune in early spring to encourage fresh, brightly coloured new growth each winter.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready for planting out in your garden.
