Cornus alba 'Baton Rouge'
Cornus alba 'Baton Rouge' is a vibrant deciduous shrub that provides year-round interest, most notably through its striking scarlet-red stems that bring brilliant winter colour to the garden. In spring, clusters of small creamy-white flowers appear, followed by blue-black berries that attract garden birds. The lush green summer foliage transforms into fiery shades of orange and red in autumn, adding a further layer of seasonal beauty.
Best planted in groups for maximum impact, this hardy and reliable shrub is ideal for mixed borders, wildlife-friendly gardens, or as a structural feature in winter displays. Cut back hard in early spring to encourage strong new stem growth and maintain vivid colour. Easy to grow and low maintenance, ‘Baton Rouge’ thrives in most soils and situations.
