Very beautiful bare root plants, I am impressed by their size and the density of the roots. The first 3 I bought last year were in great shape, which encouraged me to get more.

Description

The Cornus stolonifera 'Flaviramea' or dogwood is a shrub recognizable by its bright yellow stems in winter, it will bring colour to your garden when other plants are dormant.

 

The Cornus Stolonifera 'Flaviramea' has a very decorative yellow wood, it flowers in spring. The flowers form small clusters of discreet white flowers. The foliage that appears in spring is a deep green. At maturity, the Dogwood can reach a height of 1.50m (4ft 11in) to 2m (6ft 7in).

Not demanding in terms of soil type and exposure, it is quite easy to maintain.

The Cornus will thrive with clematis that will provide a beautiful flowering in summer, while the Dogwood will fully express itself in winter.
