Renowned for its spectacular stem colour, this deciduous dogwood displays a breathtaking gradient of golden yellow at the base, transitioning through warm orange tones to vivid flame red at the tips. This fiery display is at its most intense during the winter months when the leaves have fallen, bringing warmth and colour to an otherwise dormant garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the growing season, 'Midwinter Fire' produces fresh green oval leaves that provide an attractive backdrop in borders and mixed plantings. In late spring to early summer, clusters of small creamy-white flowers appear, followed by small dark berries in autumn that are enjoyed by birds. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms to rich shades of orange and red before falling to reveal those celebrated colourful stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis versatile, fully hardy shrub thrives in a range of garden settings, from mixed borders and woodland edges to waterside plantings and winter-themed gardens. For the most vibrant stem colour, plant in a position that receives good sunlight and hard prune one-third of the oldest stems back to ground level each spring. This encourages vigorous new growth, which produces the brightest winter colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready for planting in your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midwinter Fire Dogwood, Red Stem Dogwood, Winter Fire Dogwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height \u0026amp; Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5m × 2.5m (can be maintained smaller with regular pruning)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, Bushy Deciduous Shrub with Multi-Stemmed Form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, Winter Gardens, Woodland Edges, Waterside Plantings, Mass Planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late Spring to Early Summer (small creamy-white flower clusters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruiting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn (small dark berries, attractive to birds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Partial Shade (best stem colour in full sun)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, Well-Drained Soil; Tolerates Most Soil Types Including Clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bees, Birds \u0026amp; Garden Wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Hardy Deciduous Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy to approximately -20°C (RHS H6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh Green Oval Leaves, Turning Orange-Red in Autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outstanding Stem Colour – Yellow, Orange \u0026amp; Flame Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard prune one-third of oldest stems to ground level in early spring for best stem colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRHS Award:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' plant supplied in a 3 litre pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the Midwinter Fire variety, prized for its exceptional multi-toned winter stem display ranging from golden yellow through orange to fiery red.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plants For All Seasons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57700048929142,"sku":"COL-3L-COR-MIDX1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/5990\/3625\/files\/file_f99a8781-fe8a-483b-a2d6-8df34de1c0af.png?v=1776441683","url":"https:\/\/www.plantsforallseasons.co.uk\/products\/col-3l-cor-midx1","provider":"Plants For All Seasons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
