Cornus are grown for their outstanding bark which will bring a welcomed burst of colour to a dormant winter garden. The stems vary in colours, depending on the variety you select, and they look particularly effective when you plant different varieties alongside each other. They offer further interest in spring when their leaves appear, these are later accompanied by an array of spring flowers.

Position: Full sun to part shadeFlowering period/colour: Summer/CreamHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 8m/8mSpecial features: Highly unusual tiers of branches that resemble a wedding cake.This variety of cornus is known as the 'Wedding Cake Tree' due to its horizontally tiered branches and creamy colouring, which makes it resemble a layered wedding cake. The leaves are narrowly ovate and deep green in colour with wide creamy margins. In June, creamy flowers appear in flat clusters and these later become black autumn berries. Further interest is added in autumn when the leaves turn golden yellow before falling. This is a great tree for planting as a focal point in a medium sized garden.
