Looking for a dogwood with real character? Cornus ‘Hedgerow Gold’ is a great choice. Hedgerow Gold is a dogwood with leaves broadly edged in gold, which brighten borders in summer, and red stems that colour well in winter.
Cornus, or dogwood, offers colourful stems, foliage and flowers. Shrubby dogwoods are especially valued for winter colour, as their bare stems glow in shades of red, orange or gold.
Cornus ‘Hedgerow Gold’ grows best in full sun or part shade, in moist, fertile soil. It is a good choice for winter stem colour, and also works well for wet or heavy soil, wildlife gardens and damp borders. Pair it with grasses, winter-flowering shrubs and evergreens.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water well during dry spells. Coppice or prune stems back hard each spring for the brightest colour. Cut stems back hard each spring for the brightest colour. Generally trouble-free; healthy plants in the right spot rarely suffer problems.
Can grow in large containers. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
Our plants are nursery-grown at St Annes in North West England, raised outdoors and in tunnels in real UK weather rather than a hothouse, so they arrive healthy, acclimatised and well rooted. This Cornus ‘Hedgerow Gold’ is supplied in a 3L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
