This deciduous shrub is an all-round beauty with the emphasis on autumn. New leaves emerge in spring with a coppery bronze tinge on lovely, rich red stems, then transition to yellow-chartreuse in the summer. The foliage takes a star turn in September, as the pointy leaves turn gorgeous shades of gold, red and deep purple. The showy, scarlet-red stems provide a splash of colour in the winter, making this a truly four-season stunner. Extremely versatile, you can use this Dogwood as an accent plant, in mass plantings, for a hedge or general garden use. An easy keeper with a compact form, you can prune at any time. Generally adaptable, it prefers a moist, well-drained and slightly acidic soil. Good sun tolerance.
