Pagoda Dogwood

Pagoda Dogwood

Cornus Alternifolia

Pagoda dogwood is an excellent native plant for the four season garden. The unique horizontal  branching pattern has a distinct tiered habit, often catching snow in the winter. Clusters of white flowers show up in spring, dark green foliage turns a beautiful burgundy-red in fall and blue-black berries attract many birds. Pagoda dogwood makes an excellent small tree or large shrub in a shade garden or for naturalizing.
