Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' is a striking deciduous dogwood shrub prized for its vivid, flame-coloured winter stems. As the leaves drop in autumn, the bare stems reveal a spectacular display of bright orange and warm yellow tones that bring colour and structure to the garden throughout the coldest months. During the growing season, fresh green foliage provides an attractive backdrop before turning rich shades of orange and red in autumn. Small clusters of creamy-white flowers appear in early summer, followed by dark berries that are a welcome food source for birds and wildlife.

This versatile shrub is ideal for mixed borders, winter gardens, mass planting schemes and waterside areas. For the most vibrant stem colour, hard prune annually in late March to encourage a flush of vigorous, brightly coloured new growth. Thriving in most soil types, including damp or heavy clay soils, it is a low-maintenance and fully hardy addition to any garden.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready for planting out in the garden.
