Cornus Midwinter Fire
Dogwood
Common Name: Dogwood Latin Name: Cornus sanguine 'Midwinter Fire' Soil: Any moderately fertile soil (Will tolerate wet soils) Position: Full sun to part shade Flowering period/colour: May and June/ White Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 2.5m x 2.5m Special features: Striking firey stems offer outstanding winter interest. Cornus are widely planted for their superb winter interest and the ‘Midwinter Fire’ is one of the best around. In winter, once the leaves have fallen, the yellow-orange stems are visible: over winter the tips turn to deep shades of red, giving you the effect of a fire in a sleeping winter garden. Aside from the shoots, the wavy leaves offer interest throughout the growing season and these are bright green, flushed with red. In summer delicate, creamy white flowers sit amongst the foliage. The prominent stems give this plant a definitive structure, particularly after leaf fall, so this is a great choice for structural planting. It works really well in a border with other cornus plants and alternating this with the golden stems of the Cornus stolonifera ‘Flaviramea’ looks particularly effective.

Dryopteris erythrosora
Buckler Fern
Common Name: Buckler Fern Latin Name: Dryopteris erythrosoraSoil: Moist but well drained Position: Partial shadeHardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.6m/ 0.4mSpecial feature: Decorative fronds that are have copper tones when youngThis is a stunning variety of fern that offers unique colour. Fresh fronds have coppery pink tones and as the leaves mature they take on a dark green shade; you will get both colours on the plant at the same time, which provides variegation. This is a very versatile plant that can be planted in full sun or full shade, but it is best-suited to partial shade. It works really well as part of a woodland planting scheme and we love this alongside a fresh fern, like the Dryopteris Goldiana.

Rhus glabra Laciniata
Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern
Common Name: Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern Latin Name: Rhus glabra 'Laciniata' Soil: Moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: Summer/ Yellow-green Hardiness: Very hardy Eventual height/spread: 3m/4m Special features: Bold autumn colours of vivid red and bright orange. Sometimes known as the 'Fire Fern', this eye-catching tree gets its common name from its fern-like foliage which turns to fiery shades of red and orange in autumn. The long, feathery, fern-like leaves are held on spreading branches and are a solid green colour in spring and summer: the stems are deep red and contrast beautifully with the leaves, which adds further interest. In summer, yellow-green conical flowers appear and these turn to bright red fruits in autumn. This deciduous tree is very hardy and will thrive in any sunny spot in the garden. We would recommend planting it alongside the Cytisus battandieri as the silvery-green leaves of the Cytisus make the perfect foil for the fiery foliage of the Rhus Laciniata.
