Cornus sanguinea ‘Winter Flame’                                       Winter Flame Shrub Dogwood

 Size:  6’ X 6’

 Exposure:  Sun to Part Shade

 Flowering Time:  June

 Ornamental Characteristics:

 Shrub dogwoods are a common occurrence in today’s gardens.  Most have a winter stem color of red or yellow.  This is not the case for Winter Flame.  It breaks this mold with stems that are red at the tip, fading to an orange in the middle and ultimately to yellow at the base. The overall effect is as if there is a warm fire in your garden during the dull days of winter.  While the stems are Winter Flame’s true reason for existence, its 3 to 4 inch flower clusters are a nice addition during the month of June.  Shrub dogwoods tolerate moist growing soils well, but will perform poorly in exceedingly dry locations. We recommend regular removal of old wood to maintain the plant’s compactness and intensity of winter color.
