Flaviramea Yellowtwig Dogwood

Flaviramea Yellowtwig Dogwood

Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea'

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

  • Yellow 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.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Vigorous growing shrub tolerating many soil and light conditions. Very fibrous root system aids in control of soil erosion. Since young stems are the most colourful, pruning stems three or more years old to the ground will provide good winter colour.
