Cornus alba 'Sibirica'

Description:
This unassuming shrub waits until winter for it's time to shine. After loosing all foliage, the glowing red stems create a welcome bold thicket of colour in the cold grey months. Great when used for mass shrub planting to create swathes of winter colour and a lush green hedge in summer. The flowers produced in summer are attractive but small and white, followed by a smattering of white berries which are a valuable food source for wildlife.
