Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Dogwoods (Cornus species) come in shades of red, yellow, and fiery orange – sometimes all on one stem.
Red stems. A dusting of white frost. When all else in the garden is looking a bit drab, and even the light has taken on a kind of blue-grey tone, there’s nothing quite like the dogwood to make a trip into the January garden worthwhile. Plant in groups and cut stems of Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ down to the ground in early spring to be sure of the brightest colours in your winter border next year.
