(C. stolonifera) The stems on this unassuming shrub are vibrant shades of red in winter. Underplant it with Hellebores or yellow Crocus for a colorful start to spring. Later, the green leaves provide a quiet background for summer blooms. This is a member of the Dogwood family, one of the best-loved ornamental groups in the world. The species are mostly shrubs or small trees that sport opposite leaves and often produce a showy bract that surrounds the true flower and adds greatly to its effect. For attractive color at a time when color is scarce, look to this selection of our eastern North American native, Red Osier Dogwood, C. sericea. They produce the best color in full sun and prefer a soil that doesn't dry out.
