Flowers from Mixed Borders at RHS Wisley.

Besides its white flowers, this deciduous shrub also has yellow foliage in the Spring and Summer which is followed by the site in winter of its new bright red branches.

Plant Name

Cornus alba 'Aurea'

"Originates from Siberia and Korea.

'Cornus' means 'horn' in latin and is thought to have been given this name due to the hardness of its wood. 'Alba' refers to the white flower that it produces and 'Aurea' translates as 'Golden' and is a reference to the colour of the leaves." from Kirman Design.

Comment

"The Cornus Alba Aurea is a lovely hardy deciduous shrub which produces a stunning display of large crisp yellow leaves in spring followed by florets of small white flowers in June. In autumn the new stems turn crimson and remain to brighten up the winter months - making this plant very attractive all year round.

If grown in a shady position the leaves tend to change to a beautiful lime-green colour. The main interest of this shrub is the sea of yellow foliage which is present in a dense formation all across the shrub." from Jacksons Nurseries.

 

"This vigorous red-barked dogwood looks marvellous back-lit by the winter sun. An excellent specimen plant for damp areas of the garden, the stem and leaf colour are superior in full sun.
In March cut the stems back hard to within 5-7cm (2-3in) from the ground and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or horse manure around the base of the plant." from Crocus. I would tend to use cow manure instead, since cows eat their food 4 times and therefore there are no weed seeds left - it tends to be from their winter bedding from inside cow sheds.

 

"Dig a hole one and a half times as deep and twice as wide as the root ball, loosen the soil at the bottom and mix in a general fertiliser and some well rotted organic matter.  Place the plant so that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, backfill, firm in carefully around the roots and water in well. This will ensure good soil and root contact, and give the plant a good start.
Will grow well in any reasonably fertile, moist but well drained soil in a sunny position with some shade. Grows quite vigorously in wet ground.
A reliable and easily grown shrub. Appy an annual dressing of a general fertiliser in spring to help the plant establish in its first few years. More mature bushes will benefit from an annual winter mulch of well rotted organic material, which will help keep the soil moist and supply the humus rich conditions that the plant enjoys. It is a vigorous shrub and makes a large plant if not pruned regulary. To maintain the bushes shape and rejuvenate and replace old, dull stems; cut out all two year old wood to the base and cut down one third of stems each spring (Feb/Mar). This encourages fresh young stems which provide bright colourful shoots in winter." from Kirman Design .

Early Spring Form from East Border Section 7 Part 19 of Mixed Borders at RHS Wisley.

The red branches above are the branches created in the 2012 spring and summer season. During the winter these branches become bare and provide a bright red feature to look at. Depending on how hard this plant is annually pruned is how many years this winter site of red branches is available:-

Early Spring Form on the left from Mixed Borders at RHS Wisley.

The red branches above are the branches created in the 2012 spring and summer season. Note how close to the ground the previous growth of the 2011 season had been cut and the subsequent growth in the 2012 season. Alongside the trunk has been cut to the ground during February 2013 and that is most likely to produce fresh red branches in the 2013 growing season.

Photo from Chris Garnons-Williams on 4 March 2013.

cornusfolwin3albaaureagarnonswilliams

Early Spring Form in the middle from Mixed Borders at RHS Wisley.

The bright red branches above are the branches created in the 2012 spring and summer season. Some of these branches grew from the old trunks and others from the duller red framework at the top of each trunk which had probably been created in 2010 or 2011 growing season. As the red branches become older, then they lose their redness and turn to the trunk green colour.

This plant label is at least 3 feet from the ground, but even so the branches will grow higher and outwards so that this plant label may well become less visible during the flowering season in August.

Clematis 'Elvan'

Lilac to Lilac-Blue

"All Clematis fall into one of 3 distinct pruning groups: No Prune (Group 1), Light Prune (Group 2), and Hard Prune (Group 3).

Group 1: Early Flowering. Typically blooming in winter and spring, these varieties flower on the previous year's growth only, so if you need to remove damaged stems or control the size of the plant, the best time would be as soon as they have finished flowering. Included in this group are Alpina, Macropetala, Montana, and Evergreen varieties.

Group 2: Large Flowers. Typically larger flowers grow out on new shoots from last year's growth in late spring and summer. Some of these will occasionally display a second bloom at the tips of the current year's growth in late summer and autumn. These varieties should be pruned in spring, right back to where there are strong and healthy buds, before they start their active growth period. New flowering stems will be produced from this architecture of previous growth.

Group 3: Late Flowering. Group 3 Clematis only flower on current year's growth. These blooms tend to display from summer through to late autumn. These varieties are arguably the easiest to prune, as you basically cut it right down to about 20cm (8ins) above ground level in spring before they begin their active growth period, removing all of the previous year's growth." from Primrose who have produced a new method of raising "Kids in our planters".

Spring pruning at Beech-grove Garden helps you to create what you want to see from a plant.

 

The 3 cornus at the back of the bed are now over 6 feet high on 29 August 2013. The plants in front obstruct the view of the cornus behind and thus no photos of the flowers of this cornus were taken in 2013. As a backdrop of variegated green/yellow it may be fine, but in that case why not replace that section of hedge behind it instead.

The photo taken on the bottom right on 15 May 2013 shows that the Sambucus plant label is facing the front.

The Yellowish-Green juvenile foliage on the bottom right belongs to Cornus alba 'Aurea' - you can see from its page that it grows quite high and hides the side view of this Sam-bucus Plant Label when that plant is in flower. Since the plant label is difficult to read from the front lawn, this indicates no identity of this plant took place when it was in flower.

Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Gerda'

Pinkish-Purple

When you look at the panorama photos in East Border Part 19 you will note - by 19 September 2013 - that purple flowers could be seen on the Sambucus but its plant label could not, because of the yellow foliage of the Cornus in front of it.

sambucuslabel1gerdagarnonswilliams

This photo taken on 15 May 2013 shows the plant label for this burgundy-leaved Sam-bucus in the middle and facing the lawn between the 2 Mixed Borders.

The orange juvenile foliage on the left is from Cornus alba 'Aurea'.

Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea'

Since no flowers were seen, then no photos of its flowers could be taken in Wisley.

See further details in East Border Part 14 about lack of record keeping leading to this plant being overgrown - linkstakes in front of the Pennisetum would have provided a temporary solution from May 2013 onwards.

Although these plants were in front of the bed next to the path and in front of Pennisetum orientale 'Shogun'; the Pennisetum overgrew them.

Ligustrum quihoui

This image is part of the unreduced original photo taken on 24 July 2013. These plants were at the back of a 240 inch (600 cms) deep bed and the flowers were too small.

White

Without the 50 x optical zoom on my current camera, I was unable to take close-up photos of the flowers which were on these shrubs on 24 July 2013. These shrubs are too far back to enjoy their flowers with the naked eye.

Odds and Sods

Biennial - Onopordum acanthium

Purple

In the late 19th century, it was introduced to temperate regions of North America, South America, and Australia as an ornamental plant, and is now considered a major agricultural and wildland noxious weed. I would not recommend growing it in your garden, orchard or fields.

Sub-Shrub -
Artemesia abrotanum

Having such a small area of plant, I was unable to find its flowers from 29 August to 30 December 2013.
Is this because this plant rarely produces flowers in British gardens?
