Plant of the Day

Wednesday 4 March 2026

Cornus alba 'Sibirica' (Siberian dogwood) provides a thicket of slender red stems whilst Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' (golden-twig dogwood) produces greenish-yellow stems which are brightest in winter. Both these Cornus cultivars benefit from hard pruning as they regrow vigorously producing colourful new stems for a winter display. Prune just before bud burst in the early spring. The dark seed-heads are from the biennial Dipsacus fullonum (teasel).
