Can a yellow twig dogwood be a red-twig dogwood? Yes! Arctic Fire® Yellow dogwood is a new selection of North American native Cornus stolonifera (syn. Cornus sericea ) that offers all the durability of the species but with vivid yellow stems. In spring, little white flowers decorate the shrub and turn to white berries in late summer/early fall if pollinated. The main attraction, though, is the bright yellow stems that light up the late fall/winter landscape. Arctic Fire® Yellow is stunning on its own or interplanted with best-selling Arctic Fire ® Red dogwood . Its stems make a great addition to fall and winter arrangements.
