I mentioned it before and if you don’t know it, you probably should and will want to. Today’s fiery #oneadayplant Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’ (Midwinter Fire Dogwood). . This variety is by far the most successful in a series of (maybe 7, not sure) similarly coloured forms raised in Holland in the 1980s. The other variety in the series that you see reasonably regularly is ‘Winter Beauty’ (which some sources will say is a synonym for ‘Midwinter Fire’, but I disagree), which is very similar, with differences only noticeable when they are all grown side-by-side in my opinion. This is perhaps why the variety with the catchiest name is the one we all know and grow. . Essentially, what you have is a young stem that ranges from yellow-orange at the base, through orange to red at the tips. Similar autumn leaf colouring too as the picture shows. Cornus sanguinea types are slower and lower growing than C. alba and are also better at side-branching, giving you a more dense and twiggy plant. This means more colour and a nicely domed shape too, but also impacts on pruning regimes. Height & Spread C1.5m (5’) . Where Cornus alba varieties can be chopped to near the ground every year and still get good growth, a hard prune on Cornus sanguinea types should only be done every three or so years. Worth planting in groups so that you can hard prune them in a cycle to ensure that there is always something to look at. . Best in sun. Stem colour and autumn colour depend on this really. They will flower and fruit; neither particularly special, but not unattractive either. Reasonable soil moisture is a must. Too dry and the summer foliage will crisp up. Of all the species grown for stem colour this is probably the one that will take the driest spots, but still likes a good drink, so not one for Sandy soils or clay that bakes dry in summer. . A lovely fire to warm your chilly autumn and winter days. . #cornus #dogwood #cornussanguinea #cornussanguineamidwinterfire #fire #orange #yellow #red #autumncolour #fallcolor #leaves #foliage #stems #stemcolour #iplantsman #gardening #plantingdesign #gardeningadvice #pruningguide #gardeningtips #howtogrow #flowers #fruits (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFfErkgPVR/?igshid=j9loypupxxzy
