Cornus sericea 'Silver and Gold'
Variegated Goldstem Dogwood Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
The species Cornus sericea, formerly Cornus stolonifera, or Red Osier Dogwood, is a shrubby, spreading-by-underground-runners, reddish stemmed Dogwood that loves damp places. 'Silver and Gold', however, is a form selected by the Mt. Cuba Center for its unique stem and leaf coloring and ease of culture. Plants grow to about 6 feet and form a spreading, suckering shrub with bright yellow stems. The leaves are variegated creamy yellow and green and fall off in the fall with no significant color. Flowers are not significant. And the plant is tougher than nails growing wet or dry, in sun or light shade. These traits combined, resulted in the plant being given the Styer Award of Merit. Try this plant against an evergreen or dark backdrop to really set off its color. Cat# 1336
