The result is a broad, spreading small tree with a nearly evergreen habit, holding much of its dark green foliage through mild winters before it turns rich crimson and orange in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn early summer, the branches are smothered in large, star-shaped flowerheads made up of creamy-white bracts that age gracefully to soft pink, followed by pendulous, strawberry-like fruits in late summer — edible, and a magnet for birds. This variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, a mark of its reliability and garden-worthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGiven time, it will reach a generous 6–8m in height and spread, so allow plenty of room when planting. It thrives in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun or partial shade, and tolerates a wide range of soil types including chalk, clay, loam and sand. Little pruning is needed beyond removing any dead or damaged wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied as a well-established plant in a 12-litre pot, ready to plant out and establish quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58206346051958,"sku":"-","price":94.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-21160257.png?v=1790003034","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/cornus-norman-hadden-12l","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
