Red Osier Dogwood 5 Gallon

Cornus sericea

Large broad shrub, native to most of North America. Spreads by stolons. Stems turn red orange fading to purple in autumn and then bright red in winter. Remove ¼ to ⅓ of the oldest stems in late winter to encourage new stems with the best color. Tiny fragrant white flowers appear in flat clusters in summer, followed by whiteish fruit. Adaptable to many conditions but prefers moist soil.
