Cornus sericea
Description
From spring to winter, our Yellow Twig Dogwoods are groomed to provide colorful interest. The traditional deciduous shrub brightens up the winter months with vibrant yellow twigs, and as spring rolls around, yellow twigs transition to green and emerald, green leaves accompanied by delicate white flowers. During the later summer months, the white flower clusters are joined by groups of white berries that attract birds and other wildlife. And just when you think this shrub can’t be more impressive – it has another surprise in store each autumn. As temperatures start to drop, so do the flowers, berries and green leaves. But there is nothing disappointing about it because the twigs transform too bright yellow. It’s a wonderful gift to welcome the autumn season into your landscape. You’ll be able to enjoy the vibrant crimson hues before the amazing shrub transitions back to its effervescent yellow throughout winter.
Planting
Plus, the Yellow Twig Dogwood thrives effortlessly. Thriving through the harsh winter months, the Yellow Twig welcomes most soil types and conditions – including snow!
Watering
Even better? It’s drought-tolerant but also does well in flooded areas. Plant these in places that are “swampy” as they will help with erosion control.

Pruning
And you don’t have to prune it unless you’d like to shape.
