Cornus alba 'Sibirica'
Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’, commonly known as Siberian Dogwood, is a striking deciduous shrub ideal for New Zealand gardens. It is prized for its vivid red winter stems that provide dramatic colour when leaves fall, and its fresh green foliage that turns shades of orange and red in autumn. Small white spring flowers are followed by decorative white berries. Hardy and low-maintenance, Siberian Dogwood thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions with moist, free-draining soil, making it perfect for year-round visual interest.

Cornus stolonifera Flaviramea, commonly known as the Yellow Stem Dogwood, is a shrub that features bright yellow stems which become more pronounced in winter. The leaves emerge dark green in spring, and remain this colour until developing red tones in autumn and falling. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and 1 m wide, and should be trimmed each year. Cornus Flaviramea is a great plant for adding to a mixed planting, as well as cluster planting to provide a dramatic winter display.
