CORNUS S. FLAVARIMEA

Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’ is a hardy deciduous shrub prized for its bright yellow winter stems and reliable garden performance. Often referred to as yellow-stemmed dogwood, this variety provides colour and structure throughout the year, with its most dramatic display appearing during the winter months when the vibrant stems stand out against the landscape. In a garden centre setting, it is a popular choice for customers looking to add winter interest and seasonal contrast to their gardens.

Winter Stem Colour & Seasonal Interest

The most striking feature of Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’ is its vivid yellow stems, which become particularly bright once the leaves fall in autumn. These colourful stems create a strong visual effect in the winter garden, especially when planted in groups or alongside shrubs with contrasting stem colours such as red dogwoods.

During spring and summer, the shrub develops fresh green foliage that forms a dense and bushy structure. In late spring, small clusters of creamy-white flowers may appear, followed by white berries that can attract birds and wildlife.

Key visual selling points:

• Bright yellow winter stems

• Fresh green foliage in spring and summer

• Small white flowers in late spring

• Decorative white berries in autumn

• Strong winter colour when planted in groups

In garden centre displays, this shrub is often promoted as part of a winter-interest range, encouraging customers to think about year-round garden colour.

Growing Conditions & Easy Care

Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’ is a tough and adaptable shrub that grows well in a variety of garden conditions. It performs best in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist soil, making it particularly useful in areas where other shrubs may struggle.

Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and is very hardy.

Care and growing advice:

• Plant in full sun or partial shade

• Prefers moist, well-drained soil

• Suitable for borders and naturalistic planting

• Water regularly during establishment

• Hard prune in early spring for brighter stems

Pruning back older stems each year encourages fresh growth, which produces the brightest yellow stems for the following winter.
