Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' (Pot Size 10L) Golden-twig Dogwood sold by Boma Garden Centre

This deciduous shrub is prized for its striking golden-yellow stems, which are at their most vibrant during the winter months when the plant is otherwise bare. Young stems emerge greenish-yellow and mature to a clean golden colour, developing subtle olive-green tones as the year progresses.In spring and summer, small white flowers appear in clusters, followed by white berries in autumn. The oval leaves provide seasonal interest with a fiery display of red and orange tones as temperatures drop.Easy to establish and unfussy about soil type, this shrub thrives in full sun or partial shade and tolerates moist conditions well. Hardy and robust, it requires minimal maintenance once established.For the most striking winter stem colour, cut the plant back hard to 5-7 cm from the ground each March; the fresh growth over summer will provide the brilliant display the following winter.
