Bareroot Cornus alba Sibirica (Red-barked Dogwood)
This vibrant deciduous shrub offers multi-season interest with its bright golden yellow leaves that illuminate shady garden spots throughout summer. In winter, the bare stems reveal striking red bark that adds colour to the dormant landscape, especially beautiful when backlit by low sunlight. Small white flowers appear in spring, followed by pale blue berries that attract birds. Thriving in moist, well drained soil, it adapts well to both full sun and partial shade, making it excellent for borders or informal hedging. The colourful stems become most vivid when pruned annually, and its tolerance for urban conditions and wet soils makes it a versatile choice for challenging garden locations.
