While summer isn’t when the Dogwood shines, your Redosier Dogwood will still be an esteemed presence in your yard through the warm months.
The 5-10 cm leaves are opposite and oval, with white threads creating a lovely effect as they run through the veins.
The 4-petalled tiny flowers are white to greenish, appearing in numerous dense, flat-topped clusters.
The white fruit that arrive later are 7-9 mm long, berry-like drupes which are attractive to birds and other wildlife.
The Redosier Dogwood is a free-spreading shrub with many stems. It will reach 8-12 feet in height with an equal spread but can be pruned to any size.
It is adaptable to both wet and dry sites as well as a variety of soil types. Your Redosier is even shade tolerant.
