A spectacular deciduous shrub that truly earns its name, erupting into vibrant shades of flaming orange and yellow stems during the winter months when the garden needs colour most. The slender branches create a fiery display against frosty landscapes, while its summer foliage of soft green leaves turns buttery yellow in autumn for multi seasonal interest. More compact than common dogwoods, its graceful, spreading habit makes it ideal for mixed borders, winter containers or as part of an informal hedge. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it adapts to most soil types including clay, and responds well to annual pruning which encourages the brightest stem colour. Perfect for adding winter drama to gardens, this hardy shrub provides essential structure and colour during the coldest months while supporting biodiversity throughout the year.
