Dogwood Shrubs Shrub Dogwoods mount a dazzling fall foliage display and when the leaves drop, the show goes on through the winter with dramatic, colored stems. Clusters of tiny, white spring flowers produce pea-sized white or blue berries in the summer that are a welcome feast for birds..

Common Name: Cardinal Red Twig
'Dogwood' Scientific Name : Cornus sericea 'Cardinal Red Twig' This native beauty has such a long list of features that it's hard to see why it isn't used more. Quick growing and spreading, this plant unfurls its medium green foliage in the spring which darkens to form a great backing to flattened heads of small white flowers that bloom in late May and can even persist into early July. These flowers are a butterfly magnet while the heads of whitish, blue blushed fruit that form later in the summer are considered a delicacy by birds. Even better, 'Cardinal' will awe you with its reddish-purple fall foliage show and its stunning red twig color in winter is pure magic. 'Cardinal' will tolerate moist soils and is perfect grouping and providing nesting cover for native birds. Thin out 25% of this plant's old branches each year to retain the best winter color. Matures 6-8' tall x 9-10' wide. Hardy to Zone 3. |
