Description
Cornus species (Shrub Dogwoods) are deciduous, multi-stemmed shrubs valued for their colorful stems, seasonal foliage, and white flower clusters in late spring. They are highly adaptable and perform well in wet soils, rain gardens, naturalized landscapes, and borders.
During summer, the shrubs display medium green foliage and produce small white flowers that attract pollinators. In fall, the leaves turn yellow to orange-red, adding seasonal interest, while the stems retain bright red, yellow, or green colors, creating winter interest in leafless branches. Shrub Dogwoods are low-maintenance, tolerant of pruning, and ideal for hedges, wildlife gardens, or accent plantings.
