Dogwood Arctic Fire Yellow

ARCTIC FIRE® Yellow……….Yellow-twig dogwood Cornus sericea 'SMNCSBD' PP#32,351; CBR#7154

Common Name: Red Twig Dogwood

Can a yellow twig dogwood be a red-twig dogwood? Yes! Arctic Fire® Yellow dogwood is a new selection of North American native Cornus stolonifera (syn. Cornus sericea) that offers all the durability of the species but with vivid yellow stems. In spring, little white flowers decorate the shrub and turn to white berries in late summer/early fall if pollinated. The main attraction, though, is the bright yellow stems that light up the late fall/winter landscape. Arctic Fire® Yellow is stunning on its own or interplanted with best-selling Arctic Fire® Red dogwood. Its stems make a great addition to fall and winter arrangements.
