Cornus stolonifera

Red Osier Dogwood

Cornus stolonifera, commonly known as red osier dogwood, is a versatile deciduous shrub native to North America. This plant is favored for its striking red stems, which provide vibrant winter interest and make it a popular choice for landscaping. With its ability to thrive in wet soils, it is often used for erosion control and to improve water quality in riparian zones. In addition, Cornus stolonifera produces clusters of small white flowers in spring, followed by edible berries that attract various birds.
