CORNUS sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire'
Short description
Dogwood 'Midwinter Fire' This dogwood is really grown for the brilliant, flame-coloured stems which provide stunning winter stems. The rich shades of orange yellow and red look like a midwinter fire! It is a spreading form producing insignificant white flowers in summer and bearing oval green leaves which turn orange yellow in autumn. Excellent for shrub borders or watersides planting and especially useful in a designated winter border. Beautiful when inter-planted with red or black stemmed dogwood for a striking effect. Colour is strongest when planted in full sunshine. Prefers full sun or partial shade. Winter stem colour best in full sun. Height and spread up to 1.5 metres x 1.5 metres if not coppiced. coppiced plants reach 1-1.5 metres. Grow in neutral to acidic, well drained or moist soil. When grown specifically for its winter stems, then dogwoods are often cut down to the base each year. However, this is a less vigorous form of dogwood and therefore it is best not to cut down annually. A few stems may be cut to the ground each year or cut completely every 2-3 years. If left as a shrub then little pruning is needed, but can be trimmed to keep a nice shapeCORNUS sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire'
