Cornus alba Gauchaultii
Red Stem Dogwood
Common Name: Red Stem Dogwood Latin Name: Cornus alba 'Gauchaultii' 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: 4m/4m Special features: Vibrant red stems that light up a winter garden. The 'Gauchaultii' is a shrub with so much to offer, but its most notable feature has to be its striking winter stems. Once the leaves fall the most vibrant red stems are revealed and these really stand out in a winter garden; they look particularly special when surrounded by snow. Unlike some dogwoods, this one also has great interest in summer: the wavy leaves are mid-green in colour, but with a golden-yellow variegated edge; some leaves have a pink tinge to them, which adds further interest. Small sprays of creamy flowers appear in summer and these later become small, dark berries. This plant can tolerate waterlogged sites and we love it alongside other cornus plants, in a winter bed or border. Try alternating this with the darker Cornus alba 'Kesselringii' for winter contrast.
