Red-Osier Dogwood
Cornus Stolonifera
Red-osier dogwood is a large, 7- to 9-foot erect shrub best suited where the background, such as evergreens, will show off the dark red winter stems. In addition to the attractive red stems display in the winter, red-osier dogwood has yellowish-white flowers that appear in late May to early June and bluish-white fruit borne in late summer. Fall color is reddish-purple.
