Red Osier Dogwood

One of the best general purpose shrubs for northern landscapes, very hardy; good fall colour, and brilliant red stems are highlighted by winter snow; can actually grow quite large.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is an amazingly adaptable plant, tolerating both dry conditions and even some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This species is native to parts of North America.
