Cornus: A Seasonal Star with Striking Colour.
Cornus, often known as dogwood, is a plant that knows how to put on a show in every season. In spring, it opens with delicate, creamy white or pink bracts that look almost like flowers themselves, creating a light and airy feel in the garden. As summer arrives, Cornus provides lush, green foliage that forms a lovely backdrop for other plants. But it’s in autumn and winter that dogwoods truly come into their own, with leaves that turn shades of red, orange, and purple before dropping to reveal brilliantly coloured stems in reds, oranges, and yellows—a true spectacle that brings the garden to life in the colder months.
