Cornus sang. 'Midwinter Fire'

Cornus Midwinter Fire (commonly known as Dogwood) is a shrub which produces ovate, mid-green leaves and small, cream/white flowers in May and June - however, the flowers are not the star of this show. In autumn, Cornus Midwinter Fire stays true to it's namesake, slowly revealing brilliant flame-coloured stems as the leaves fall away. Shoots begin a magnificent yellow-orange shade, with the tips turning a brilliant red as the season goes on, giving the shrub a flaming look. Perfect for bringing a burst of colour to bare winter gardens. You could even use the orange-red stems for an indoor arrangement, perhaps even spraying them gold for a festive look. We'd recommend planting in groups for a truly fantastic show in winter once all the other colour is gone either in the garden border or containers for smaller gardens.
