CORNUS


The links below take you to the appropriate species, or the first cultivar of that species. Thus click on the green species name to take you to the first cultivar of that species. Where there are more cultivars than can fit on a single page, I have also linked the first one on the page. Hence the odd green name amongst the kousas for example. Hybrids not attributed to a specific epithet are also included here, grouped together under their parentage for meaningful association. Within the catalogue pages, they are included in their alphabetical positions, thus they are individually linked direct to their entry.

The principle is that it should make it quicker to find the plant that you are looking for in the larger genera where we have plants of a great many species. Thus, if you are looking for a specific plant, you don't have to trawl through pages and pages to find it.

Evergreens and Semi-evergreens 
We have an increasing collection of selections of flowering dogwood that hold their leaves long into the winter, so I have extracted these from the complete list above. Some of these are truly evergreen, whilst others are better thought of as semi-evergreen because they will eventually loose some or all of their leaves dependant on the severity of the weather. As a group, these will grow happily enough in even a very shady site, but often flower to their full potential with more light. Most evergreens can be more
vulnerable to severe winter weather simply by virtue of having foliage at that stage. We are extremely exposed here, so they will tolerate frost and even high wind, the latter provided the ground is not frozen solid for any length of time. 
It is difficult to accurately classify many of these selections because of limited information regarding their origins.
