Plant description: Dogwood Red Osier is a great plant for wetter areas, even right in shallow water. This is an attractive plant almost year round. In the winter it is known for its flaming red bark and in the spring and summer for it's light foliage that flickers in the wind. Fall foliage is golden to reddish on red stems. The small flowers are in large clusters of frothy white. The berries are pale with a touch of blue. For best gardening effect these need to be pruned to an inch above ground in the early spring as the red begins to darken and just before new buds begin to appear. They will form thickets which birds love and they can also draw deer. If left un-pruned they will grow to 15, but they make a fine screen in summer.
