Plant of the Day
Sunday 3 April 2022
This cultivar of coloured stems Cornus sanguinea ‘Sifa’ (dogwood) starts greenish-yellow at the base but the finely-branched, upright stems finish as a rich red. The young growth is the most colourful and so is encouraged by pruning the old growth before bud burst in the spring.
