Yellow dogwood - cornus flaviramea

Bare Root Yellow Dogwood
(Cornus flaviramea)

Yellow Dogwood plants are quick growing with bright yellow-green coloured stems in winter. 

All Dogwood varieties have similar features, which includes creamy-white flowers in the Spring, following with blue or white berries (which Thrushes and Robins love), that sit on lush dark-green, oval leaves that redden in Autumn and fall (as the plant is deciduous) to uncover the stunning-coloured stems underneath.

You can create a lovely mixed hedge with the Yellow Dogwood, or you can let it express its own wonderful features as a standalone hedge.

The Cornus flaviramea is a tough plant that does well in both sun and partial shade and will always do best in moist sites.

  • Growth height: Average (20-40cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Inland
  • Aspect: Semi-shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? No

As soon as your Yellow Dogwood Bare Root arrives, dunk it into a bucket of fresh water for at least 2 hours. The roots must be wet when planted. Ensure you continually water the Dogwood throughout its growth, too, as it specifically prefers a moist site.

Do not prune your Dogwood within its first year of growth, as this is a crucial time for the plant to develop. After the first year, however, cut the plant down to its woody base (within 4" of the ground), before they bud. You must do this every year, along with feeding and watering the plant well after each pruning session. This will give you the very best and brightest stems possible.

It is also possible to bring old plants back to life by cutting away the old wood from the centre.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    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

    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
    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 Hedging
    Instant Hedging

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