Such perfection! You’ll love the evergreen tiers of deep green glossy foliage smothered by tiny, creamy white flowers in early summer followed by copious amounts of fruit covering the spreading branches and turning a shocking coral-pink in the fall. The fruit hangs on all winter as the foliage becomes brushed with deep purple to create an truly stunning contrast and making this one of the best winter interest shrubs for the landscape. More compact than the species, ‘Coral Beauty’ spreads rapidly without becoming invasive and works wonders as a weed suppressing groundcover. Drought resistant, wind resistant and tolerant of any well-drained soil, ‘Coral Beauty’ can’t be beat for easy care elegance. Grow in full to part sun and fertilize annually for outstanding berry production.

A member of the Stellar Series that came to us by way of Rutgers University, Aurora is a cross between Cornus florida and Cornus kousa that brings the best of both parents to a single plant. ‘Aurora’ promises resistance to borers and dogwood anthracnose while exhibiting a flower show that falls between the timing of the two parents bloom time, starting in mid-May. Its bloom is, in a word, magnificent with large, greenish-white bracts that open far larger than either parent and transition to a creamy white. The flower production is so heavy the foliage will almost disappear providing a cloud-like appearance in the landscape that is a sight to behold!

Awesome texture!  This unique version of our native red-twig dogwood offers a little twist: heavily textured foliage that has a “quilted” effect. It makes an eye-catching addition to your landscape and thrives even in wet or partially shaded areas. Though it does flower and display some red coloration on its young stems, foliage is this variety’s defining characteristic.

Superb, creamy-edged variegated leaves and bright yellow winter twig color give this variety year round interest. Easy to grow, tolerant of poor and wet soils, this is another plant great for massing and winter color display.

A lovely, small deciduous shrub, ‘Kelseyi’ displays small white flowers in spring followed by small berries that attract birds.

Firedance™ is a compact variety of dogwood with white flowers in spring followed by pretty white berries that are attractive to birds. It is tolerant of moist conditions and suitable for rain gardens. It is also good on slopes to hold soil in place. The foliage turns a nice red-purple color in fall, giving multi-season interest.

This native beauty has such a long list of features that it’s hard to see why it isn’t used more. Quick growing and spreading, this plant unfurls its medium green foliage in the spring which darkens to form a great backing to flattened heads of small white flowers that bloom in late May and can persist even into early July. These flowers are a butterfly magnet while the heads of whitish, blue blushed fruit that form later in the summer are considered a delicacy by birds. Even better, ‘Cardinal’ will awe you with its reddish-purple fall foliage show and its stunning red twig color in winter is pure magic. ‘Cardinal’ will tolerate moist soils and is perfect for grouping and providing nesting cover for native birds. Thin out 25% of this plant’s old branches each year to retain the best winter color.
