Cornus-RED TWIG DOGWOOD Thumbnail pictures can be viewed larger by clicking on them. Use your browsers back button to return to page. Cornus/RED TWIG DOGWOOD varieties are a must in any garden, for winter garden and additions to floral displays. (Unless you are packing of to Florida and out of the house for the winter months !). The striking stem color is only noticeably after leaves fall and temperatures drop. You will have 5 months of display of vibrant stems in a variety of colors depending on species; which is pretty good for any plant. Highlighted if planted in front of 'greenery' and contrasts with white barked birch. Planting on mass makes a stunning display . We cut our established plants back to 18'' before the start of Spring as it is only the new growth that will have the startling color the following winter. Cornus alba, RED TWIG DOGWOOD, 'Argenteo-Marginata', Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 6'x8', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin - Siberia, Korea White edged leaf probably likes a bit more shade if your in the top of this plants zone. Cornus alba, RED TWIG DOGWOOD, 'Gouchaulttii', Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 6'x8', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin - Siberia, Korea Yellow edged, green pink leaves add interest in the growing season. We find in hot areas this one despite its variegated leaves does ok in sun and we work it in with grass plantings.
Cornus sanguinea, 'Winter Flame', Z 4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 8'x10', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin - Europe An open fire of a combination of yellow and red shaded winter twig. This is perhaps our favorite of the whole collection. The fall color is a significant yellow tinged with pinky red leaves and lasts a long time. Perhaps not so vigorous as the other varieties and in pruning we tend to be more selective and only remove a 1/3rd of the plant each year if you need to at all. Un pruned plants have attractive older barks and spikey orange hair !
Cornus sericea, RED TWIG DOGWOOD, Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 8'x10', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin- East US Our work horse plant for massing. Its suckering habit makes it good for erosion control and producing masses of plum red twigs. Red, any color description is very subjective, these plants might not be as red as a 'cardinal' but make and impressive sight in winter.
Cornus sericea, 'Cardinal', Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 8'x10', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet; Origin- East US Twig like the male bird its named after, cherry red. Brighter stems at the top, but a little more green shows at base, even on one year stems.
Cornus sericea, 'Buds Yellow', Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 8'x10', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin- East US A yellow twig dogwood that has improved stem color and disease resistance than older varieties.
Cornus sericea, 'Silver and Gold',Z 3,4,5,6,7,8, DR/Cut Mature height - 8'x10', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med./Wet, Origin - Eastern US A yellow twig with white and green variegated leaf. We find the leaf holds up well in our hot and humid conditions. Perhaps a little slower growing than other selections.
