About this plant
Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' is a stunning deciduous shrub that transforms the winter landscape with its vivid orange, red, and yellow stems. During spring and summer, it produces lush green foliage, followed by small white flowers that attract pollinators. In autumn, the leaves turn golden before falling to reveal the fiery stems that give this variety its name. Ideal for winter gardens, mixed borders, and waterside planting, 'Midwinter Fire' thrives in most soil types and is highly tolerant of cold conditions.
