English Woodlands Experience Increased Sales Of Cornus Alba

Online, February 18, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Winter can be a sparse and bare time for domestic gardens, with most plants dropping their leaves and lying dormant, with minimal growth of fruit and flowers. Gardeners are always seeking more interesting ways to liven up their garden for winter interest, usually through investment in unique varieties of plant and restructuring the garden to accommodate and accentuate the new additions. As a result, plant supplier English Woodlands have experienced considerably increased sales of the shrub Cornus Alba, likely a result of consumer demand for plants with attractive winter interest.

A customer service representative from English Woodlands was available for comment on the trend in sales, along with their response to it. 'We often see experienced consumers looking for ways to restructure and optimise their gardens for the winter, and we there's a lot more interest in plants with winter interest around this period. People are thinking about how to optimise their gardens and planning ahead for the next year. Cornus Alba has a unique attraction for winter gardeners, and we've recently featured it on our official blog. We're not surprised to see increased interest, and will be expanding our stock of the plant for the following year in an effort to meet predicted consumer demand.'

Cornus Alba is noted for its bright red stem colouring. With close pruning of old growth gardeners can maximise this feature to rapidly brighten up a garden when the shrub's leaves fall in autumn, exhibiting the new stems.

Based in East Sussex, English Woodlands are a supplier of plants and planting accessories, trading across the UK since 1919. They're expanding their stock of Cornus Alba for the following year in light of increased consumer demand.
