Red Stemmed Dogwood (Cornus alba) Hedge Plants Description

Red stemmed dogwood has creamy, white flowers in spring, followed by blue/white berries, with oval, dark-green leaves, which redden in autumn, and then fall to reveal the gorgeous brightly coloured stems. They look great with other species in a mixed hedge or grown on their own. The can also be grown as a standalone shrub to add a pop of colour to shrub beds or borders.

Red twig dogwoods are very hardy and do well in sunny sites or partial shade and especially in moist areas. They are also very good in front of an evergreen hedge where normally nutrients, water and sunlight would be in short supply.

See also our ultimate Dogwood hedging guide for more information.

Robins and mistle thrushes love the berries in late Summer/early Autumn.

What are root types?

x

Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
