Description
Dogwood is a native deciduous shrub which is ideal in a woodland area, or wildlife garden. It is attractive at many times throughout the year; in Spring the leaves are a fresh green; in early Summer there are clusters of creamy flowers; in Autumn the leaves turn a deep crimson and in Winter the stems can be striking when any new growth is bright red. Our Dogwood shrubs are 2-3 years old and are 60cm- 1m tall. They will grow in most garden soils and will also survive in a damp area, so are very versatile.
Wildlife attracted:
In Autumn, the berries on the Dogwood attract small mammals and birds whilst earlier in the year, the flowers attract pollinators.
Other features:
If the stems are in the sun they are crimson but when in the shade they remain green.
