Dogwood - Bud’s Yellow
Bud’s Yellow Dogwood, Cornus alba 'Bud's Yellow', is an upright to rounded shrub that displays small white flowers. It blooms in the spring and has attractive medium green foliage during the summer. The bright yellow stems will add a striking color to the winter landscape. Bud's Yellow Dogwood is best grown in organically rich, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. This shrub prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils. Trim the roots and promptly remove root suckers if colonial spread is not wanted. It is a rapid-growing, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub that grows to a maximum size of 5 to 8' tall on erect, usually unbranched stems. Plant them as property line screens, hedges or shrub borders. For an interesting bicolor winter stem display, combine with redtwig cultivars. ... additional info
Dogwood - Greytwig The Gray Dogwood is a deciduous shrub which typically occurs in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. Foliage turns an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. Terminal stems holding the flowers are distinctively red and provide interesting contrast to the clusters of small white berries which form after the flowers have dropped. Red stem color is more easily seen after the fruits are gone, and red color often persists into early winter. Excellent when planted in groups and left alone to spread in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Also effective in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a screen. Can be particularly useful because of its ability to grow in poor soils. Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of city air pollution. |
