Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' (Dogwood) – Orange Winter Stems (3L Pot)

Cornus 'Anny's Winter Orange' is a stem dogwood with bare winter stems in bright orange shading to warm yellow, one of the warmest colours of any winter shrub.

In summer it is an ordinary looking bushy shrub with fresh green leaves, which turn orange and red before they drop. Small clusters of creamy white flower open in early summer and are followed by dark berries that feed the birds through autumn. Once the leaves have gone, the stems do the work until spring.

It reaches around two and a half to three metres each way, though annual pruning keeps it far smaller. It is fully hardy, takes full sun or partial shade, and grows on almost anything, including clay and ground that stays damp. Full sun gives the strongest stem colour.

Cut it hard back in late March each year. New wood carries the brightest bark, and old wood turns dull and brown. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for planting out.
