Cornus 'Midwinter Fire' - 9cm Pot

You should perform a hard prune in February each year to encourage the growth of vibrant new stems for the next winter.

Yes, but ensure the pot is large enough to support root growth and that you use a high-quality, moisture-retentive potting mix.

Cornus species are generally not considered toxic to domestic pets, but ingestion should always be discouraged.

It performs best in full sun to partial shade; more sun exposure often results in deeper stem color.

It prefers fertile, moist, and well-drained soil, though it is quite adaptable to various soil types.

This is typically caused by lack of pruning. Ensure you perform a hard prune every February to stimulate fresh stem growth.

Check soil moisture; the plant prefers consistent moisture but can suffer in waterlogged or extremely dry conditions.
