Bring a splash of luminous sunshine to the winter landscape with the Yellow Twig Dogwood. While most dogwoods are prized for their red stems, this unique variety offers striking, bright chartreuse-to-golden-yellow branches that provide a brilliant contrast against evergreens, red-twigged shrubs, and snowy backgrounds.
Key Features & Benefits
Luminous Winter Colour: When the leaves fall, this shrub reveals its spectacular golden-yellow stems. It is the perfect "partner plant" to Red Twig Dogwoods, creating a high-contrast, multi-coloured winter display.
Four-Season Versatility:
Spring: Features clusters of delicate white flowers that are a favorite for early-season pollinators.
Summer: Clad in lush, medium-green foliage that creates a dense, attractive screen or backdrop.
Fall: The leaves transition to shades of yellow and sometimes orange-purple before dropping.
Winter: The vivid yellow stems become the focal point of the dormant garden.
Ideal for Damp Spots: Like its red-twigged cousins, the Yellow Twig Dogwood thrives in moist-to-wet soils, making it the perfect solution for low-lying areas, rain gardens, or pond edges where other shrubs might struggle with "wet feet."
Erosion Control & Wildlife: Its vigorous, spreading root system makes it excellent for stabilizing banks and slopes. In late summer, it produces white berries that are a high-energy food source for songbirds.
Unbeatable Hardiness: Reliably hardy down to Zone 2, this is a "tough-as-nails" shrub capable of withstanding the harshest Canadian winters.
