SILVER AND GOLD YELLOW TWIG DOGWOOD

The Silver and Gold Yellow Twig Dogwood, also known as Silver and Gold Red-Osier dogwood is noteworthy for its variegated, pointy green leaves with creamy-white, uneven margins, and for its bright yellow stems in winter. White berries are produced in late summer and are quite attractive to birds and have a more attractive display than its tiny, white flowers in late spring. In fall the foliage turns yellow. Cornus sericea 'Silver and Gold' is a sport of Cornus sericea 'Falaviramea'. Periodic pruning of older stems provide better winter stem color that is most pronounced on younger stems.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade; it performs best in sunny locations where stem color will be most vibrant. It is exceptionally adaptable to various soil types and thrives in moist or wet soils. Pruning: Like all C. sericea types, the stem color fades on older wood. To maintain the bright yellow 'twig' color, perform rejuvenation pruning (coppicing) in late winter: cut one-third to one-half of the oldest, dullest stems to the ground. This forces a flush of vibrant, new yellow growth for the following winter season.
