Description
Arctic Sun® Dogwood is a compact shrub known for its striking stems that are a blazing mix of rich yellow, orange, and coral which add interest in winter. The bright green foliage turns a showy yellow in fall. Flat clusters of white flowers bloom in the spring, and are followed by small white berries that attract birds. Best stem color occurs in full sun and moist well drained soils.
