The foliage in a strip of Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ planted through the biodiversity garden has turned flame red with autumn colour.

These plants were stooled down in April, just at the start of the growing season. With a steady supply of rain and a deep organic soil the dormant buds soon shoot out and by the end of the growing season have reached 1.4m in height.

The resultant display of autumn colour provided by the foliage is extended through the winter by the mass of vibrant red stems.
