The links below are
intended to help you navigate your way around this fabulous and varied
genus.
For the purposes of this website, I have divided
the Cornus that we grow in the collection here into groups of
visually similar and closely related species and hybrids. The groups are
as follows:
Cornus with floral bracts:
Cornus
kousa cultivars
Cornus
x rutgersensis
hybrids
Semi
Evergreen Cornus
Evergreen
Cornus
Cornus
nuttallii
cultivars and hybrids
Cornus

to go to an introduction to the bract-forming dogwoods group within Cornus,
including some photos for inspiration.
Layered
Cornus
includes cultivars of the species Cornus
alternifolia and Cornus
controversa which develop a characteristic layered habit.
Cornus
mas and Cornus
officinalis cultivars
The names in green are all links to their specific entry in the catalogue
pages.
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.
As you can see from the lists below, we have an
extensive collection of these fabulous plants. So many that the choice
can seem daunting. Don't hesitate to email me at karan@junker.co.uk
if you would like help in making your selection.

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 we know that these can tolerate frost and
even high wind. However, the latter can become an issue if the ground is frozen solid for
any length of time, as can severe cold.
It is difficult to accurately classify many of these selections because
of limited information regarding their origins. |
