The Yellow Stem Dogwood, known botanically as Cornus stolonifera Flaviramea, is a striking addition to any New Zealand garden. Renowned for its vivid yellow stems, this deciduous shrub brings a burst of colour to winter landscapes when many other plants recede into dormancy. Its unique appeal lies not only in its vibrant stems but also in its adaptability, resilience, and capacity to provide structure and interest throughout the year. Whether used as a feature plant, in mixed borders, or for creating wildlife-friendly hedges, the Yellow Stem Dogwood promises beauty and function across seasons.
Cornus stolonifera 'Flaviramea'
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.
