Cornus Flaviramea

Cornus stolonifera Flaviramea, commonly known as the Yellow Twig Dogwood, is a fast-growing, suckering shrub known for its bright-yellow stems in winter. Perfect for brightening up a winter landscape, it is a hardy plant that can withstand colder temperatures and is resistant to common diseases.

It makes an effective mixed border plant as its unique structure and colouring provide a striking contrast when planted with rounded evergreen shrubs in particular. It is mostly used in traditional style gardens but is increasingly being used in modern gardens in hedges or in mass plantings. 

It is tolerant of most growing conditions, including the very wet, but prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure to bring out its most vibrant yellow. Can grow to a height of 2.5m and a spread of 1m but should be trimmed back each year to encourage new growth.
