Colourful Cornus bonsai

Top down view of group

In Winter the stunning new vibrant shoots of the Cornus or commonly known Dogwood shrub can brighten up your day as they are just radiant. They come in a range of colours and for fun I have created my very own rainbow bonsai group using Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’ (Red), Cornus sang ‘Winter beauty’ (Orange), Cornus ‘Midwinter Fire’ (Orange / Yellow),  and Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’ (green) all planted in a bright blue pot.

Here are a few shots of the raw plants that I made up the group with, that will now need to mature……and I think they will be best as a winter image. I have not tried to bonsai Cornus before but here goes and I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried and if they were successful so let me know if you have been by e-mailing: contact@swindon-bonsai.co.uk
