Product description
Cornus 'Winter Beauty' is a spectacular deciduous shrub, prized for its fiery ornamental stems that provide unrivalled colour. Its main display appears as temperatures drop, with the young stems glowing in shades of yellow and orange at the base, intensifying to a brilliant flame-red at the tips. This creates a stunning effect, and for the best show, the plant should be pruned back hard once the danger of hard frost is over.
Cornus 'Winter Beauty' grows as a vigorous, upright, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub and is renowned for its hardiness and easy-going nature. It is exceptionally versatile, performing well in most situations from full sun to part shade, and is an excellent choice for damp or heavy soils where other shrubs might struggle.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
