Bud’s Yellow Twig Dogwood - Cornus alba Live Shrub in 4 Inch Pot | Winter Interest Landscape Plant

Brighten your winter landscape with Bud’s Yellow Twig Dogwood, a deciduous shrub known for its vivid yellow stems that stand out when most gardens are dormant. This fast-growing dogwood offers a striking winter display, especially when paired with red-twig dogwoods for seasonal contrast.

In spring, it produces clusters of delicate white flowers against fresh green foliage, followed by small white berries that attract birds and wildlife. The shrub forms a dense, multi-stemmed habit throughout the growing season, making it suitable for hedges, naturalized areas, rain gardens, and erosion control.

Highly adaptable and tolerant of moist to wet soils, Bud’s Yellow Twig Dogwood adds four-season interest and supports wildlife.

These healthy plants are shipped established in 4 inch nursery pots and are ready to thrive in your landscape.
