Insights
Fully hardy, this deciduous shrub is a fast growing plant, happiest when planted in full sun near damp areas. In winter its golden stems are especially striking when grown near other red stem varieties of dogwood for a contrasting palette. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
