Winter Beauty Dogwood

This suckering shrub dogwood is valued primarily for its ornamental stems, a year-round garden asset contributing vivid coloured stem colour through winter when few other plants provide visual interest.

• Coloured stems are most vivid in late autumn and winter after the leaves have fallen, standing out against snow in the Canadian winter landscape.
• White flower clusters appear in late spring, followed by white or pale blue berries attractive to birds.
• Cut one-third of the oldest stems to the ground each spring to promote vigorous, brightly coloured new growth.
• Best in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil.
