One of the lesser known Cornus, this plant has winter shoots that have a marron/purple tinge to them. Come the spring/summer you get treated to creamy white flowers which will then produce attractive purple berries. Then come the autumn, the leaves turn a rusty orange or red colour. This plant really does give you interest in all season.
