Cornus sericea (Redosier Dogwood) #1 Pot
Description
Cornus sericea, commonly known as red osier dogwood, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. Known for its striking red stems, especially visible in winter, this plant provides year-round interest. It typically grows 6-9 feet tall and spreads via stolons, forming dense thickets. In spring, Cornus sericea produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers, followed by white or bluish berries in summer, which attract birds and wildlife. The leaves turn a vibrant reddish-purple in fall, adding seasonal color. Adaptable and hardy, red osier dogwood thrives in wet or moist soils, making it ideal for riparian plantings, erosion control, and natural landscaping.
