Description
We have two dogwoods on offer this year. </p hidden>
Red-Stemmed Dogwood (Cornus sericea) – a pretty wetland field or field edge shrub. Beautiful spring flowers, as well as bright red stems which stand out in a winter landscape. The color of the fresh stems is quite vibrant, so don’t be afraid to prune out older stems. This dogwood likes wetter areas, and its fibrous root system is great for erosion control. Expect a shrub up about 4 or 5 feet talk and about as wide.
The dogwoods are a highly diverse genus. We hope to add the more shade loving dogwoods to our catalog in the future.
Green Oiser Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia)– this is a shade-loving understory tree. It has an attractive spreading habit to the branches, almost forming shelves! The flowers are attractive to pollinators and the berries are eaten by birds. </p hidden>
