I bought one from the £ shop years ago and it's done really well (it is a cornus isn't it - the stems go red in the winter???)

Sheila your right it is a cornus, and the stems will go red this winter, can't go wrong for a £1 can you.

They can grow quite tall I think, but I cut mine down at the end of the summer to about 3'. It still goes red in winter and still flowers the following year.
