Cornus sericea ‘Sunshine’ offers a bright new look to the ever-popular shrubby dogwoods. The healthy, vibrant gold foliage remains brilliant all season long. In winter the stems glow red in the low sun to excellent effect. Grow in average to moist and even wet garden conditions. Younger stems have the boldest winter colour. Plants can be pollarded or coppiced just before the leaves begin to appear in spring.
