• Position: Full sun or partial shade.
• Soil: Any fertile soil.
• Hardiness: Hardy

  • Height: 2.5 m (8 ft) if left unpruned.
  • Spread: 2.5 m (8 ft) if left unpruned.

• Pruning: In our opinion, Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'  is most attractive if pruned hard to about 30 - 40 cm above the ground early each spring. This will prevent it getting to large and rejuvenate the plant so the bright coloured stems appear each year.
