Cultivar Name: 'Cato.'
If you're looking for a hedge that will bring color all year long, Cornus Arctic Sun® is a perfect choice!
The light green foliage buds in spring, topped by white blooms in late spring to summer and followed by dark purple berries until autumn. The leaves then turn golden before falling, and that's not the end of this ever-changing beauty! In the dreary winter months, the bright yellow stems tipped in red, gleam in the gray landscape.
This low-growing, non-suckering dwarf Yellowtwig is highly adaptable and much more tolerant of limey soils than other Dogwoods. Grown in zones 4 to 7, Cornus Arctic Sun® is hardy to -35 degrees F. With fibrous roots, this hedge is easy to transplant and establish in the garden, and its maintenance is minimal other than an annual trim of its showy stems.
Use Arctic Sun® as a low hedge, in the border, or as a mass planting. Watching its colors change every season is breathtaking and will bring you endless joy!
