Dogwood - Yellow Twig
Dogwood - Yellow Twig
The Dogwood 'Yellow Twig', Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea', is a medium sized shrub with bright yellow twigs. These yellow twigs provide a good contrast against any Red-twig with its yellow fall color. The foliage is medium to dark green in summer, followed by purplish fall color. The twigs are green in summer, but turn bright clear yellow in fall and are quite conspicuous in winter, especially if planted in groups with one of the red twigged dogwoods. Pruned twigs invariably die back to the next bud and turn black from there to the pruned end of the twig, leaving ugly black ends on bright yellow twigs. Prune with care; remove branches or twigs only at the ground line. Plant in full sun and provide a well watered location.

|  Hydrangea - Cherry Bomb - Sale Price: $92.75
Hydrangea Cherry Bomb, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Cherry Bomb', is a red lace cap variety of hydrangea. Cherry Bomb Hydrangea is an attractive and very free-flowering shrub with blooms lasting from midsummer to fall. It is a compact shrub with wrinkled, dense green foliage. The foliage provides outstanding fall colors from burgundy to purples. As a young plant it is best to prune or pinch your plant in order to build a full bodied, well branched plant. Then selectively prune out any dead stems, or old non-flower producing stems. The flower buds form in later summer and then flower the next year in early to mid summer, in other words, the best time to prune is after it blooms, from mid-July to mid-August. |
