Cornus or dogwood are deciduous shrubs with bright showy stems. They bear lance-shaped mid green leaves which have beautiful autumn colouring and small, star shaped flowers. Flowers are followed by loose cluster of strawberry like berries.

Cornus are best planted in a woodland garden or as a specimen tree. They require well-drained, fertile soil and prefer neutral to acidic soil. You can make your soil more acidic by adding ericaceuos compost.

The Cornus 'Magic Flame' is a vibrant deciduous shrub that brings a burst of colour to any garden throughout the year. Renowned for its striking red stems that intensify in colour during the winter months, this dogwood variety adds visual interest even in the colder seasons. In spring and summer, its lush green leaves emerge, often tinged with a hint of red, followed by clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators. As autumn arrives, the foliage turns shades of orange, red, and yellow, truly living up to its name with a fiery display.

Where to Position Your Cornus 'Magic Flame'

Cornus 'Magic Flame' thrives in full sun to partial shade, where its vibrant stem colour and seasonal foliage changes can be fully appreciated. It should be planted in moist, well-drained soil, though it is adaptable to a range of soil types. This hardy shrub is ideal for borders, mixed beds, or as a striking stand-alone feature in the garden. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to keep the plant healthy and vibrant.

Growth and Maintenance

Cornus 'Magic Flame' is appreciated for its easy-care nature and dramatic seasonal changes. It typically reaches a height of 1.5-2 metres, making it a manageable size for most gardens. To enhance the vibrant winter stem colour, it’s recommended to prune the shrub back hard in early spring every 2-3 years. This encourages new growth, which produces the most vivid colours. Apart from this occasional pruning, the plant requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
