CORNUS ALBA SIBERICA

Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ is a striking deciduous shrub best known for its brilliant red winter stems and reliable garden performance. Often called Siberian dogwood, this hardy plant provides colour and structure throughout the year, with its greatest impact during the winter months when its vivid stems stand out against dull landscapes. In a garden centre setting, Cornus ‘Sibirica’ is a popular shrub that appeals to customers looking for strong seasonal interest and low-maintenance planting.

Winter Stems, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

The most dramatic feature of Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ is its bright coral-red stems, which become especially vibrant in winter after the leaves have fallen. These colourful stems create a striking display in the garden, particularly when planted in groups or against pale backgrounds such as walls, fences, or winter frost.

During spring and summer, the plant produces fresh green foliage that forms a dense, bushy shrub. In autumn, the leaves often turn attractive shades of yellow and orange before falling, adding another layer of seasonal interest.

Key visual selling points:

• Brilliant red winter stems

• Fresh green summer foliage

• Warm autumn leaf colour

• Dense, upright shrub habit

• Strong winter garden interest

Growing Conditions & Easy Care

Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ is a tough and adaptable shrub that thrives in a wide range of garden conditions. It grows well in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is also tolerant of heavier soils and can even cope with damp areas where many other shrubs struggle.
