Cornus sanguinea, also known as Common Dogwood, is an upright deciduous shrub with attractive winter stem colour. A dense covering of green foliage emerges in spring followed by clusters of tiny white flowers in May & June which are attractive to pollinating insects. The flowers are followed by black berries which are eaten by birds, & throughout autumn the leaves blaze deep red & violet. When the leaves fall they reveal a thicket of bright green stems which fade to red at the tips. Common Dogwood brings autumn & winter colour to mixed native hedges or can be grown alone for a fantastic low&45;maintenance hedge.
